Personal goals as important as weight goals:

It's 13 months since WLS. I'm losing slow. I've tried everything. Excersize, returning to basics. But, I know I can do more excersize. I'm happy though. I feel good about me. I love my new job, and am well liked. I'm getting a promotion of sorts. Moving to a different dept. I love shopping now. I do buy myself something new every week or 2. I'm always needing new clothes. I figure I have a lot of catching up to do. And there are so many "looks" out there that I LOVE!!! And now I can where some of them, not all, but, some. I love jeans, capris, even wearing skirts. Dressing with a lot more style, from casual to sexy. I'm wearing heals now too. Never thought that would happen. I know I'm not at my goal weight yet but, Ya know, I'm happy. I'm healthy. My husband and I are more romantic than ever. If I never lost another pound ( or gained either. lol) I'd still be happy with my progress. I wanted to be normal. Dress normal. Live normal. Eat normal. And that's just what I'm doing. I'm living my life for the first time, not just sitting and watching it go by. So, if I stay at this weight, I feel that I have succeeded in my personal goal if not my weight goal. And that's more important to me at this time. I still have a lifetime of work ahead of me but, I've come this far, there's nothing in this world that would get me back to 300lbs. The hard work is well worth it!!!!!! Thanks you for listening.
