2 yrs out
May 24, 2007
It blows my mind how things can change in just two short years. It seems like another lifetime ago that I was fat. I am happy to say that I have been able to loose all of my extra weight and have kept it off so far. I realize that I cannot get too relaxed about my eating or I will gain it back. I find it very hard to look at pictures of me from then. People immediately think it is because of vanity but it isn't. I just see someone so completely unhappy with herself and unable to really relax and be content. Although this past year has been the hardest of my life (unexpected divorce), I can honestly say that I am much happier these days. A good friend of mine asked me honestly if I would do it all again and I was quick to tell her YES! I don't think surgery is the answer to everyone. It certainly was not easy in the beginning, but it has given me control over something that was controlling me.
Anyways, I am feeling great and actually have trouble finding clothes that fit because I am so small! Ironic, I know, to flip from being too big that clothes didn't fit to having to shop in the junior department because regular sizes don't fit! Ha. I hope to have found my normal weight (lost a little too much do to stress this past year) at 110 and I am 5'2" so it's about right. I sincerely hope that this will encourage anyone who is struggling with the decision or recent surgery. It isn't easy at first but sooo worth it! Best of luck to you, T
