2 years ago today...happy rebirthday to me!

Hello everyone, It has been a while since I have been on the boards. I have been out living life! Today is and will always be such a special day forme. 2 years ago today I had my surgery!!!!! I changed my life and my body forever. I can honestly say that it was the best thing I could have ever done. This journey hasnt been an easy one...in the first year I had to have 3 different surgeries. I was sick a lot. But I got through it and life is great again. It has been 2 years and I have lost over 140 pounds and maintained my weightloss for a year! I still struggle at times with food choices....all those old demons, but most days I do well. I exercise and I take my vitamins; I just wish that I could stop feeling like an overweight person...do you know what I mean???? Like when I look in the mirror I still see the little fat girl....it really is all in my head and I havent figured out how to let that go....maybe I never will...maybe that isnt all a bad thing. I am a more compassionate person because of my struggles. Anyway, thanks for listening and luv to all. Hope everyone is doing well. Laura @ goal~140lb
