HAPPY 3rd ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!!

I sit here this am looking at pictures of ME 3 years ago and it is not only awing but so inspiring to get these last 20-30 lb off me and get back in control of my life. I have been blessed in so many ways. It is truly amazing to see where I was and where I am now. In just 3 years which seems rather short to me I've accomplished and done so much that obviously would not have been possible had I NOT had WLS. It's the simple things...crossing my legs, fitting into a booth w/ TONS of room to spare, fitting into a bathroom stall and not have to turn and sit kinda sideways, wearing "normal" sized clothing, not having my seat belt in my car cut off circulation, walking w/out fearing I will pass out, no fear of climbing steps, I can get up and down so easily now, I can walk to my heart's content, playing with my kids, getting compliments (which I am STILL a WIP) and having them mean so much for all the hard work I've done...OMG the laundry list just grows. There is one very personal thing I know for a fact would never have happened without WLS and that is our youngest bugga Nora. OMG! She completes our family! We her and Kayla SO much. They are our lives. It is so amazing to think after Kayla we decided no more children because of all we went through but God had his hand in it and here we are. I have experienced preggers journeys before and after WLS and I am living proof things go much better when your health is better. It is so amazing to me! I could not be so successful without the and support of my family and friends and especially the encouragement, and support of my OH family. Ya'll are truly wonderful and I will continue to look to ya'll for inspiration and to enjoy our lives together. Please know I thank ya'll from the bottom of my heart. Love always, Kitty Kat CHEERS! I'm gonna celebrate today! My 3rd re-birthday!

HAPPY RE-BIRTHDAY!!! Let me be the first to congratulate you on your successes!! We will work together on those last stubborn pounds, I promise!! WE WILL GET THERE, together, with the help of our *family*. I am so excited for you, and I know there will be a celebration in Richmond today......keep up the good work, I will be thinking about you today!! Dianna

Thank ya baby! Yes, we will. Guess how I celebrated? I ate some steamed to death broccoli w/ I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Tostitos w/ Mild Salsa and had some fun with my buggas and Trey. Life is good. I spent a lot of the day reading or attempting to The Tiara Club which I've re checked out of the library for the unteenth (not a word :haha) time and planned to fini**** but I haven't yet.
