One year ago I started the journey of my life.  8-1-08 I had my RYN.  It has been a life changing journey.  I have lost 109 lbs but I have gained new friends and family.  I had heart problems.  Double bypass for my heart.  Before that I had 2 stints, diabetes, a stroke and cancer.  Before 8-1 I didn't realize I was existing not living.  I could not go shopping or enjoy my dd. 

Today I can do things I have not done is many many years.  I was on 13 different meds plus 4 shots a day.  Today I am on 4 meds and no shots.  I just want to thank all my friends and family who have accepted me for who I am and have given me the strength I needed and the encouragement I needed to make my goal and to enjoy life.

Today I am about to join friends at IKEA and then on to Winstar to celebrate my 1 year anniversary.

Awesome job and I'm so glad we've finally had a chance to meet in person twice in the last month!!  Now, NO MORE chick-o-sticks...they are EVIL.  I ate them all the way home trying to stay awake.  Congrats on a fantastic year.
