17 Months and Reflections
Hard to believe I am sitting here thinking over how far I've come!
When I started this journey I was 280lbs and being thin and healthy seemed so much of a dream. In fact it was a dream I held so many years that I was starting to dis-belive it.
I was always the chubby girl, the "cute in the face" girl who never got asked on dates....I don't have to say it all over again, majority of you know exactly where I am coming from.
Now I sit at my desk at about 160. (I flux between 155-165) and I am in a size 10 jean and a medium shirt. Something I just could not really see.
Life is good and I am blessed.
I enjoy my days so much more. I have become a true girly girl. Love the hair, nails, clothes and SHOES! Ha!
Without my LAP-BAND® (her name is Lilith) I would not have been able to enjoy this feeling of "LOVING MYSELF". Now my problem is...stopping myself from thinking I am TOO CUTE! But I allow myself that guilty pleasure for a while!
That person looking back at me in the mirror is who I knew was inside and I am so glad to get to know her.
I would not change the world for my journey and I would do it over in less than a heartbeat.
I was self pay and I'd pick up pennies again to do it all over if I had to.
I may now be looking at a tummy tuck. Not sure but I feel it tugging and I need to have that gone, but I will cross that bridge when I can get to it.
For now...I am grateful!
