Reached my goal - still on my journey

Well I reached by goal and beyond; and trying to maintain a stable weight.  I finally posted a few pictures of before and after; but even that was hard.  Sometimes I still see the Fat Girl and all the imperfections, but I try and focus on the positives through support groups, my daily spiritual meditation and applying the 7 Healers in my life on a daily basis. 

I had a great weekend at a women's retreat and you don't realize how far you have come, till you see people that you have not seen in a year and they don't recognize you at first.  My nickname for the weekend was "Skinny" - that's a first!  But the best thing that happened, was I able to share my WL journey with a lady who is planning on having surgery in November.  Someone shared with her that I had WLS.  I see this lady every week, she has seen me losing weigh and commented on my new "appearance"; however, she did not know I had WLS,   It was wonder to be able to sit down with her and talk about WLS, our support group and how we help each other before and after our surgery. 

At our retreat, we look for our Angel of the weekend.  On Sunday, people get up and share about their weekend and who their Angel is.  She shared me, which made me realize that sometimes we are the only example that people see of success in this journey.  I know for me, I had a hero that walked before and after me, so I got to see her blossom into a Beautiful Woman!  and she was and still is my inspiration.  Thursday night we saw each, sat next to each other and just smiled -She knows I am there for her every step of the way.

Congrats Kathryn!!!  Good job!!! 

Congratulations on meeting your weight goal!  That is a huge accomplishment..

What a great feeling it must be to have someone recognize your success and look to you as an Angel!

Keep staying positive with your meditation and being active in your support groups and you will continue to flourish.

I wish you much continued success...
