It hit me this morning that four years ago I weighed 327 lbs!  And I remember praying and praying for years for God to help me to finally get this weight off.....and He did it!  I had gastric bypass on 1/31/07 and I am now 165 lbs.  Almost half my body size and as I was getting dressed for work it just hit me how good my God is...and I just had to stop and get my praise on. And I wanted to stop and share with anyone who would read this that God is good, faithful and able to anything...nothing is too hard for Him.  Ask and you shall receive.  Believe in Him and know that he will deliver on His promises.......I am very tearful this morning and weepy but not from sadness but from being so thankful and overwhelmed at how blessed I have been.  God has been so good to me and placed so many wonderful people in my life (and some of you here too and I thank you for allowing me to call and bug you are to text you are for just sending a message to encourage me or just believing in me when I didn't).  Well, I have so much more I could write but I am on my way to work....but I will be back on 1/31/11.  Only 20 days til my 4 year anniversay!!  (praise dance)

WOW Stephanie...thanks for stopping by to share about your journey. Congratulations on your success...whats an inspiring testimony! It made my day.....just the little nug I needed to move full speed ahead. I was 318 at my heaviest so you just gave me another reminder among others that its sure if possible to get to goal.  Have a good day!

And thank you for the encouragement!! It is definitely possible to reach your goals and having a good support system such as this forum is one of the many tools that help.  So many think this is the easy way out but has been everything but easy! I am not complaining and would not trade this journey for anything.
