I just had to share this story, as silly as it may be....its exciting to me. My daughter who has been right at my side this entire weight loss adventure has completely changed her eating habits and has become an excercise nut right along side of her Mommy. She told me I was and inspiration to her...and I motivate her to want to become a healthier person. Did my surgery help break the cycle of overweight women in my family...well maybe not the whole family, but to change the life of one so dear to me is a little overwhelming and phenominal! My dear little daughter(I say little because even chubby she stood 5 ft. tall and 150 lbs.) she is not a teeny tiny size 3 and has lost 35 lbs (115 lbs) and she is BUFF...her muscles are amazing hehehe!

Anyways on with the story...yesterday she was going through her closet and having me try on the clothes that no longer fit her. Me standing at 5'8...my skinny is the size when she was a wee bit chubby. So my daughter gave me "hand me UP's" as she called them. It amazes me that I fit in clothes that are a size 9 junior....some 7's even. OMG am I really here, did I make it...and am I going to lose more. (I really don't want to lose more) those of you who follow my blogs know I am struggling to keep weight on right now. ME the LIL FATTIE I have always been is struggling to keep weight on. Anyways it was so fun playing dress up with my daughter, and for obvious reasons there are some items I could never step out the door in, just an age appropriate thing lol.

Thank you Samantha...you also inpsire and motivate me to become a better person. I love you with all my heart!
