A Reflection
You are thinking right now....Debbie is going to go into what she sees in the mirror right? Nope wrong. I am going deeper than that. The journey has been a good one and I definintely have documented it well but there are times where I wasn't sure if I like myself for me.....I woke up today thinking WOW I truly like me. I feel I lost me along the road to fatness. I think I stopped communicating with myself. To get those nerve endings back has been a long road. It was worth it. So now that I am liking me do I stop the therapy? My therapist would probably disagree! LOL.
To everyone this journey is not just about a size. Its about you. Who you really are is there and awaiting for recognition. Have you recognized yourself today? I have!
Have a Great Weekend.... As you can tell mine has just begun!

Love your reflections, Debbie!!
I wholeheartedly AGREE!!! It's probably a blessing in disguise that my parents were as terrible as they were, it taught me EARLY in life to "love myself" (for lack of theirs). My biggest challenge, with this weight loss is having long term faith in myself - truly believing that I can do this for the rest of my life. I never doubted for a second that I'd lose the weight and reach my goal - but 'believing' long term, came slow.
Enjoy your weekend - Lei Wow, that's exactly where I find myself these days. Wondering if this will be for the rest of my life? Any tips on how to 'truly believe' I can do this? I'm confident in my WLS & it's success, just not so confident in myself some days. However, it's so comforting to know it can be done, I can one day believe this really will be for the rest of my life.....
