Today is my 40th birthday and I'm not a bit sad about it.  I'm not worried about getting old or thinking about how nice it would be to be 25 again....nope not me.  Why????

Because I look and feel better at 40 than I did at 20!!!  I'm at the lowest weight I have been in 20 years.  I'm off all my meds.  I run every day....I haven't ran since I was a little kid.  I feel light on my feet.   

So when someone asked me why I'm so happy to turn 40...and I said why not, it's something to celebrate!!! 

When I was 30 I was over 300 lbs and wore a size 28 and I could barely walk up my stairs to my apartment. 
At 40 I am 205 lbs and I wear a size 14!!! 


here's me at 37 years old...all bloated and weight 350+ lbs




Here's a picture I took of myself today.  No more double chin and you can see my cheek bones again!!!
