1Year!!

Jun 13, 2011

Wow, where has the time gone.  June 4th was one year for me.  As of that day, I had lost 100 pounds.  Wow, I still can't believe that!  That day came and left and not once did I realize what day it was.  It wasn't until a couple of days after that I realized my one year anniversary had passed.  So much has changed.  I can honestly say that I am not the same person I was a year ago. Sure, some things are the same, deep down I still have the same beliefs and love for people, but my attitude about life has changed.  I've been told by a few people that I am more confident.  I would totally have to agree with that.  I'm not afraid to do new things, or meet new people.  This surgery has done so much for me!  I have so much more energy.  People now think that I'm a fast walker and comment about having to keep up with me.  I still have my times when I feel big.  I'm not sure if it's because I have more to lose, or if it's in my head.  I so love to buy clothes now.  I'm not happy with how I look naked, but hey, it's better than it was before.  lol  I struggle at times with food.  I don't really like food and usually prefer not to eat.  When I do feel like eating, I make sure I do.  Some family seems to have an issue with it, but I think it's healthy.  I drink my protein, take my vitamins and eat small amounts of healthy stuff.  I don't eat a lot, but I think that is the idea of the surgery.  lol  In the beginning I hated the way I could only take little sips of drinks.  Now, I take large drinks just like I use to without any problems at all.  That was a big improvement for me.  I knew I couldn't live the rest of my life only taking little sips. I want to lose at least another 30 pounds.  If I do that, I will weigh what I weighed when I got married.  Not sure if I'll be successful or not, but we'll see.  But then I never thought I'd reach 100 pounds either as I was plotting along, and yet I did.  :)  I need to have my labs done and am, curious to see how they are. Hopefully all is okay with those.

I hope everyone is doing well.  For those just starting out, hang in there.  It really does get easier.  Before you know it, you'll be writing about your past year.  :)
