I missed my surgiversary!

Honest to PETE! I can't believe it was my 2 year surgiversary on the 3rd of December and now, 11 days later I notice that it came and went without my even aknowledging it! I do want to say that I have so appreciated having all of you along on this journey. I'm still very glad that I had the surgery- I have maintained a loss of over 100 pounds and have had no complications. I am FAR FROM PERFECT- I eat and drink haphazardly at times and I'm such a rebel- hate following rules. I never got to goal (yet) and my surgeon really thinks I should because of my cancer diagnosis prior to my surgery. But I am so happy with the loss so far- it's made a huge difference in my life, from being able to move, fit in tight spots, and cross my legs, that I just can't complain that I haven't reached goal. I'm content... that is a really big THING! Sometimes I can't quite believe that I am where I am. Thanks for being here!

Hey Julia,

Good to hear from you..... been a while.

AIN'T LIFE GRAND......

I know what you mean feeling good about yourself even though you aren't at goal. Same here. Are you off for winter break yet? We had an ice day here... late arrival due to the ice.

Treat yourself to something nice for your surgiversary... maybe a new top or something.... something you wouldn't have bought when you were bigger !!

Julia,

A great big Woo Hoo on your surgiversary and the life you are living as a result. I, like you, have not made it to "goal" but I am living healthy and happier than I have in years and so what is a few pounds, so long as I am stable where I am, that is my goal to stay where I am.

Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Congrats to you ... I still remember your kindness to me while you were waiting for your surgery (or maybe you just had it ... anyway, I remember!)

You've come so far!
