6 Months Out!

Today, I wear a size 16, and I'm rocking my skinny jeans. Today, I can climb stairs without getting winded. Today, I can keep up with my kids and we're much more active as a family. Today, my husband can actually lift me and I giggle like a school girl when he does. Today, I stand taller. Today, I walk well over 10 000 steps a day and I actually love my treadmill. Today, I choose to walk away my stress rather than eat it away.

Today, I must continue to remind myself that this surgery has been a gift, but that it will still require me to work it. I cannot take it for granted or rely on it solely to keep the weight off.

Today, I am blessed.
