Goodness!! It has been so long since my last post. It feels like summer has flown by. Currently 180 and loving it! Thats a total of 46 lbs since Feb. I did a lot of hiking this summer during Geology Field camp. All the activity really helped me to drop those jean sizes down to a 14. I have really loved looking nice and wearing heels again. Soooo much fun! What's even better is that I've found the man of my dreams! I know it sounds crazy but its undeniably true. We have been dating since July 16th and a couple since the 6th of August. He is what i have prayed for and then some. Ladies!!!! We were destined for each other! Believe in the power of manifesting your dreams. I can't even begin to start on how amazing this life's journey has been. Having the lapband surgery has been a vital part of my continual transformation. It's has given me the ability to regain my confidence and achieve my own personal success.

As for my new man, who is the sweetest and one of the most sexiest on earth... I was so nervous to tell him about wls but I knew the longer I waited the harder and weirder it would be for me to finally do it. When did finally tell him, he couldn't have been more loving understanding and sweet about it. In the end telling him made me feel closer to him because I was truly opening up to him about a subject that so deeply emotionally charged for me. I am such a happier person now. I loved all the beautiful places I was able to hike to this summer and the long nights of dancing in heels in the downtown bars. I love being comfortable in my body. It is truly a blessing. I am not at a stopping point in my weightloss by any means. It is a continual commitment to be active and challenge myself to obtain higher heights. May we all have victory in ourselves love and future!
