The Little Black Dress
So it's been forever since I have posted something and recently I realized I'm 6 months post op - HOLY CRAP!! While things have been crazy, trying to recoup from the complications and figuring out this new body of mine - I've had some interesting mile stones.
#1 - The Little Black Dress
I was able to shop with my friend, in the same store, in the "normal" section. I cried. It was the strangest thing ever. Never before have I ever shopped "with" my friend. We always went to her stores and then to my plus size stores. Added to this, I have never, ever worn a short dress. And heels? Please! So I found myself out shopping for our staff Christmas party, I'm a size 16 now (used to be a 26+) and not only did I buy a cute little black dress, but high heels. I was dressed like a woman. I felt so sexy (although no one told me how cold winter winds could be in a short dress LOL). If you want to see the picture, check out my pictures.
#2 - Skating
It turns out I LOVE to skate. I'm not particularly great at it, but OMG it is so much fun. This new found freedom was given to me through my weight loss. I have gained more confidence, stability and flexibility. Again, my pics LOL. I am becoming a real enthusiast of physical exercise. Go figure.
I am so blessed in my life and can't wait for this new year to unfold. I am starting my training to run a marathon this year. I am so stoked. I am going to go sky diving this summer too. I plan on fully living my life with everything I have. No excuses, no regrets and with total love and joy. I hope everyone has an amazing 2011!
Lots of love,
Michelle

Please keep us informed on how that goes. You are truly inspiring and you should be so proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing this and I hope it inspires others to get on here and share their WOW moments. Again... Congratulations!! Believe, Believe, And Believe!!! Love and Light, Tink
