Best wishes for love, peace, joy, unity, acceptance of diversity and happiness to all.

Through laughter, tears, sorrow and joy I continue to rock my journey .... forever grateful for weight loss surgery and the mindset to implement changes to patterns of behavior that led me to morbid obesity and five co-morbidities now all in remission.

This is my 6th Christmas post weight loss surgery ... can I call myself a vet now? It feels like surgery was yesterday and I am equally excited about it today ..... I have health ... I have mobility ... I have love ... I have suffered loss three close relatives in a span of a few months and I have been mourning the death of precious little angels and teachers who departed so violently and abruptly in my home State of Connecticut ....

In the midst of it all I choose JOY over Misery ... and I let it happen to me .... the tears will dry up ... the sun will shine again ... the happy moments will continue to happen as well as the challenging ones but above all WE HAVE THIS DAY ... TO LIVE ... TO LOVE AND TO BE HAPPY ....

THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE ....

My Before and After ... Maintaining a total loss of 203 pounds for close to 6 years .... 5 co-morbidities in remission and fully mobile ... I am rocking my tool for life...

Me BEFORE and me NOW with my awesome toy poodle Pierre .. I love him and my 9 ferrets sooooooooooo much....

There is nothing new under the sun ... I danced from big to small ... my before dancing at the outreach center and me at zumba a week ago on my Birthday...

I have tracked my journey in a digital empowerment journal that I labeled "A Picture a Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches Away" 

Thank you for allowing me to share ... Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Holidays, Happy Solstice ... and best wishes for love, peace, joy and prosperity along with health and determination to press on wherever we are at for the remainder of this year and the coming New Year...

We got this! Thanks for allowing me to share....
