Stoping by to say hello + update on me

Hello Everyone, I don't post here near as often as I used to. I do lurk around a little bit. I hope you are all well, and serving our Lord to your fullest. I found a new church, and hope to become quite active here. Although I've only been here once, I know it's the right church. Isn't it wonderful how God just let's us know where we belong. My surgery was 6 months ago. I have lost 100#'s post-op + 67#'s pre-op = 167#'s Total. GOD IS SO GOOD! I've gone from a size 30/32 to a size 16. I really am going to need plastics. I am just a bunch of hanging skin, from my face to my ankles. My weight loss has really slowed down now. I have been on a plateau for 2 weeks. Thats ok I know I'm not finished losing. I am having a real battle with carb's. right now. I crave them. The bad thing is I can eat them with no ill effects. I can eat any thing except sugar. I won't even try it. I don't tolerate meat very well at all, except chicken sometime ~ sometimes not. Physicaly I can do just about anything I want to. The Lord has brought me a long way. There was a time not very long ago that all I did was lay on the couch or in bed wishing life would end. Now I am most always on the go. I've been looking for work, and had 2 interviews with the same company. She told me whom ever get's called back for a third interview will get the job. Jobs are tight here, but I know I will get the job The Lord wants me to have. So how about all of you. Where are you at in this journey? How has life changed for you? Would you do it again if you had to? I would do it again in a heart beat! God has truely blessed us with this surgery. You all take care. Love y'all God bless you good~ Annette

Hi Annette! Great to see your smiling face again! Many of us are not posting as much as we used to. It goes I guess with the saying....If satan knows he can't get to you...he will just make you too busy????? I don't know. I know many of us are going through things as well. My journey so far has been great. I also have lost right at 100 lbs and am almost at goal. We are going to have a baby in December. My hubby is deployed right now...so that is kind of hard...but I have been a single mom before so I know I am ok. Plus...God has my back! I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Good luck on the job hunt. God already has it worked out! Take care! Stephanie

Hi Stephanie, Wow, take a look at you. You look great. Congratulations on the new baby. I totally understand the hardships a single parent faces, but you're right God has your back, and the rest of you too. My grandson's daddy is being deployed for the 5th time in 5 years. He says he just has a bad feeling about it this time. He will be here in two weeks to spend time with my daughter and grandson before he leaves for Iran in July. We just need to keep praying for our loved ones and our troops. Take care of yourself Stephanie. God bless you, Annette
