Maintenance ... it is a good thing....
If I maintain my home ... it increases in value...
If I maintain my car ... I get more mileage...
If I maintain my yard ... I get a beautiful lawn
If I maintain me... HOLD UP! I CAN GET ALL OF THOSE THREE ....
MORE VALUE .... I AM HEALTHY
MORE MILEAGE ... HEY I AM OVER 50
AND A BEAUTIFUL LAWN ... YOU BE THE JUDGE (lol)
I am no longer bound ... I AM FREE!!!!! Free in my mind (emotional distress GONE I can deal with my emotions without reaching for a bite) and free in my body (morbid obesity and its co-morbidities GONE - I am healthy 5-comorbidities left behind)
I made this little red dress in the summer of 2009 ,,, and found it going through my closet looking through my red's to wear red clothing in memory of our deceased sista on the journey ... Red in Texas .... and I used it also for a comparison collage.....
2 years ago I met Ramon, and Debbie and Eggface, and Melting Mamma at an OH conference in Philly .. Picture taken by MeltingMamma. I wore THIS denim jumpsuit that I am wearing today ... same fit .. I am keeping it off pound for pound ounce for ounce I say...
I have had soooooooooooooooo much fun, growth, pain, laughter, loss and gain during my weight loss journey ... I am on this ride to life 3 years and 2 months out having had RNY WLS on 2-5-07 - I am no longer bound ... I am free to be ME... I love to sew... I love to paint... I love to make things and I love to love ... it is EASY .... I HAVE MET SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE ON OH ... SOME I HAVE MET IRL ... OTHERS IN CYBERSPACE AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THE STRENGTH AND ENCOURAGEMENT I GOT FROM ALL ON MY JOURNEY....
Thank you for allowing me to share....
This is my collage of my reds in memory of my friend on the journey Brenda (Red in Texas) who always gave me an encouraging word as I posted my pictures throughout .... from my journal a picture a day keeps the weight away ... it works for me ...
when I started my journey I had a purpose ... to be accountable and to be healthy ... I am not looking to the left and I am not looking to the right ... my knees don't hurt... I don't snore and choke.. diabetes is in remission.. blood pressure readings are always in the normal range... GERD is gone ... CPAP is gone ... I can run ... and right now I am about to fly ... I am no longer bound I AM FREE, I AM FREE, I AM FREE..... and in order to stay free ... I will make healthy choices for me, I will exercise... I will live and I will let live ....
Thanks for allowing me to share .... UNCONTROLLABLE HUNGER IS UNDER MY FEET AND SO IS MINDLESS EATING .. IF AND WHEN IT WANTS TO REAR ITS HEAD I PICK UP MY SEWING MACHINE, MY PAINTBRUSH AND CANVAS, I SNAP A PICTURE AND MAKE A COLLAGE... I GO RUNNING, SWIMMING, JOGGING, TO BIKRAM OR ZUMBA ... WHEN I AM TICKED MY PINK PUNCHING BAG IS IN THE BASEMENT ... BUT I DO SOMETHING ... I ASKED FOR HEALTH AND MOBILITY AND I AM LIVING IT AND LOVING IT ... (lol) ....
... and I made such a mess I am confused ...(lol)...
Sorry for taking up your time with this goofy post ... I promised myself to post every month of the anniversary of my surgery date and I am keeping myself accountable ....
