And to think that 5 years ago I was staying out of pictures and schlumping around with straight hair,no jewelry or accessories and about 4 outfits of clothes. All the pants were either sweat pants or had elastic in the waist. I love that jowls I can go in any store anywhere and find something pretty that I feel good in. WLS was the best decision I ever made and life on this side,even with its struggles is SO much better!
