Oh happy day! Left the house wearing a pair of size 16 capris and a size L top this morning. Michael, my hairdresser, told me I was "melting away". Tee hee!
Then I stopped in at Hobby Lobby and the two sweet ladies who work in the fabric section made such a fuss over me. "Look at Miss Slim and Trim," they said.
All that noticing really has made me feel good today!

Becoming visible to the world is a true gift. Happy for you and the great success you are achieving....nice to know you can make the difference in your life. Many of us have failed in our weight loss journey through life, I know I did and how that made me feel. Sure I had a surgical intervention to lose my weight, a big decision that I live every day. I am happier and healthier for this intervention. Support and true caring from all here have sustained me, even when I had hit rock bottom.
Remembering how hard Easter Candy time hit you. Walking into Target that one day and seeing ALL the "off limits" stuff. You bought it home with you, but you put it away for Bennie...it lived in your house and you chose not to eat it. That took courage and stamina.....you were new to this journey and did not have the success days to support your courage. I yelled at you, prayed for you, and believed in you as I still do. Yeah to smaller sizes, being visible, and ENJOYING IT...CAUSE YOU EARNED IT.

Post Script: Just back from my well woman exam and my gyn dr just could NOT believe how much weight I've lost since this time last year. She kept saying, "You had surgery in Feb, 20-ELEVEN?" And I would say "yes". And she would say, "Not 20-TEN?" "No, doc, Feb 22, 2011."
She also could not believe how low my bp and cholesterol are now. I think I may have made a convert to WLS! LOL!

Congratulations on the Wows. That is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
