One year anniversary!
on 5/4/18 3:19 am
Today is the day. Weight loss has stopped at this point and seems stable. I am lighter. Healthier.
One thing I have learned, that I should have done this 12 years ago, when I first really wanted to do it. I was hesitant, primarily because of fear of how people would view this decision. Waited years. And only one year ago made the change. Happy I did it. My advice, don't wait.... don't be afraid. Do what is right for you.

I'm just glad that I finally decided to prioritize me. Take a leap of faith. Post surgery life has challenges too, but it is much easier to stay on track. And whenever I feel like eating the wrong things I avoid it by thinking of all the work I have done getting to this day.

I'm exactly one month away from my surgery date. I started this journey about 15 months ago. This kind of post makes me so happy and encouraged. I know it's going to be tough. I know it's a tool and not a cure. But being able to visualize myself a year from now and thinking about how I should have done this years ago--it gives me power. Thank you!
