Year ago today, I weighted in at a mere 252 pounds. Yes, you read that right. Today is my Re-Birthday. I weighted in at a Whopping 134.5 pounds! Grand total of 117.5 pounds lost, If found do NOT send it back to me!!
What a difference a year can make. I have enjoyed most of the past year, give/take a couple speed bumps in the road.
In the past year I have learned to trust in the tool, trust in the medical team,trust in your family and friends- even when they don't understand everything about my new ways of life. They have learned along the way. Am I a good educator? Maybe, I think they are just smart! LOL
I trust that I can believe in myself and do what it is I set out to do and reach a goal more then once.
There are many other things I trust in and believe in. There are many people to thank along the way and someone will always be forgotten to be mentioned in type, but never in my mind/thoughts. I am so grateful to you all.
My quality of life has improved so much I can't even begin to count. All the things I am grateful to be able to do once again or for the first time. Going from walking with a cane,sitting around in pain,smiling on the outside as if life was alright, to totally being able to do 5K at 9 months out of surgery! riding a bike for miles,walking miles at a time, sitting in trees,climbing rocks,walking on stilts and the list goes on and on. Would I do it all over again? Yes.
The first year was a blast, the next one I am sure will be slower and the real work will be a chore. I shall over come whatever is tossed into my path along the way. I will strive for the perfection I know the medical team will advise me to work towards.
A few of my observations:
I know why they are called hip bones.
I have bones. The tailbone is the one I am reminded of constantly and the collar bone make me smile almost every day.
Skinny doesn't take away your problems.
I will always be "the fat girl" in my head.
I am not "big boned"
Protein, water, supplements and exercise will keep you healthy and happy.
Listen to your body. You body will tell you what is right or wrong, but first you have to listen.
You hold your future in your hands.
I am off enjoying life as it was meant to be, waving to others as I pass by and slide into home base with a smile and a whoopee!! yelling what a ride!
Many hugs to everyone who has touched my life many times! Thanks to everyone on OH and WWW for all the support,tears and laughter, Sometimes you really don't know how much that helps in the healing.
Thanks A/all
