01/17/2007....3 years ago My life totally changed and I will never be the same. Some good and some bad. Still no regrets not ever!!!!

I still dump at least once a week. If this shocks some of you, please understand that I am fighting and feeding an addiction with every bite. I still cry some days in amazement when I look in the mirror and see the frame that covers me.  I find that I miss my friends that I have made during this journey more than I miss the friends that I had before i started this journey. It is 3 years and I take my vitamins daily as if I just got discharged from the hospital and there are still months where I grow hair and month where I lose hair. To solve that problem I keep it cut almost bald all the time. All in all I am living my life like it is golden and loving every minute of it. I don't think I have EVER been as happy as I am at this point in my life.

I will be 46 in May. I stand 5'8 and weigh between 160 and 165 on most days.

Those trying keep trying...it is well worth it.

Those going thru...one day at a time

And to those WLS Divas....Keep Representing....we are watching and taking notes.

I am posting a before and After because I love looking at everybody elses so i figure I couldn't be the only one.



362 lbs maybe more at this point,,,who knows......BEFORE

Everything you said back at you....you are a wonderful person. I remember the first time I met you I had just moved back home to Chicago from leaving my husband and Dimple Donna invited me to a meet and greet...You were beautiful then and just a knock out now...with those shoulders out and those lettos on....keep up the great job that you are doing....dont let the mind get in the way

Thanks
