Have just recently hit the mid way point to my one year. The 9th of September was 6 months for me. So much has happened in 6 months that I just cannot believe it all. It all seems so sureal at times.

6 month check up went absolutely the best. The social worker I have seen for 6 months at the docs office passed me in the hall and didn't even know it was me. It had been 2 months since seeing her and she totally didn't recognize me. Great feeling. The nutrionist I usually see was totally amazed how much I had changed in 2 months. It feels good for people to see you so differently right?

I have had to buy more clothes. Found a GREAT thrift store in Denver, man it is awesome, and I now how pants in size 12. I went from 22/24 to size 12. AMAZING. I have shirts that are medium and large. NOT XL, regular large. I am so excited about it.

Even though the smaller clothes are great and people going on about how great you look is wonderful (ALWAYS encourage your loved ones or friends) the thing I love the most is HOW I FEEL. I really like me and I feel fantastic. I have hiked and done things I wouldn't have done 6 months ago. It is the greatest accomplishment in the world. No matter how good you look, how you FEEL is the greatest thing. I love the new me and would do this over a million times.

I hope you all are doing well and experiencing the same things. It is a great thing to feel. Best wishes to you all.
