Celebrating 4th surgiversary... summarizing what I have learned... with pics...

My 4th surgiversary was yesterday. I wasn't online yesterday. I was with my kids and my boyfriend at the local Morton Pumpkin Chuckin festival, enjoying the outdoors, cheering my daughter as she got second place in the "Hand Toss" contest.

And that I guess was the whole point of my surgery. I am alive today and able to run around a festival, hike under the golden trees of fall, walk the dogs, sit cross-legged in a chair to watch a firepit. Kiss my beloved. All on one glorious weekend day.

I'll finish this week of reflection with pics. Before... at 340 pounds...

And me now....

And with the man who loved me big, and loves me small, but probably has more fun with me small (we actually met four days after my surgery, online, and in person a few months after that... we honestly didn't mean for it to turn into a "thing", it just got out of hand lol)...

OK, going back now to lurking and occasionally being too blunt about stuff. Thanks for indulging me!

Thanks! Nice blog... I had the same feelings when I finished my first 50+ mile bike ride this year... it's an awesome feeling! Even with sore butts...
