:tt2: well today is my REALLY Birthday! I will tell you my age, I turned 58 years young this morning!

I feel so blessed and happy! I did eat a bite of cake last night, it was Chocolate and too sweet!! Yes I said it TOO SWEET! But to be polite to the ones who bought it for me and planned the party, I ate CAKE!

Being away from a lot of sweets, you never realize HOW sweet they are and just how much sugar is in them until you do eat some and then you know!

This birthday is special to me for one reason, I am smaller than last year because of the BAND! Photos were taken, and I could hardly believe that was ME in them compared to last year! 91 lbs smaller! Thank you Jesus for the will power and good sense to have this surgical procedure called the LapBand!

My Re-Birth day is the 29th of this month! So I will celebrate again, not with cake tho! LOL

To all of those who looked at me with pity and concern for my health, they now see a different me, but I did not do this for them, I did this for ME! You will do this for YOU, or you won't care or try and won't be a success at this journey! Get the mindset that YOU are IMPORTANT and deserve to be healthy! Life will be good, will get better every year! Like I said "I only wish I had gotten the surgery sooner". My only regret.

Have a Blessed day with me!;)

Happy Birthday! I did eat cake on my birthday and did not feel guilty about it for a minute. One of the great things I have discovered is that when you eat "normally" you can really eat anything as long as it is in moderation. I no longer agonize over "wanting" something I know I "shouldn't" because it does not fit in a "diet." I eat everything, some things just tiny, tiny amounts but enough that I am not denying myself - so liberating! Happy Birthday again!
