Operation New Leaf: The Leaf Has Landed

[Bryn Dawson 9]

Hi All,

No, I'm not dead. Yes, my ticker is accurate. Here's the skinny:

1) I am a slow loser at approximately 1-2 pounds a week, stalling every 3rd or 4th week for 1-2 weeks per stall. But that's okay, because

2) The scale and the inches are still going down! I started in a size 32 and am now in an 18/20. I started in a 50G bra size and am now a 42F (the girls will always be big, no matter how saggy they get, lol.)

3) I am 5 pounds over my halfway-point in my weight loss!

I am eating well, living well, being healthy and happy and knowing that life will continue that way for the forseeable future. I am pain free in the lower-back, knees and ankles for the first time in years. My doctors are all surprised at how I look and when I went for a little pampering this weekend to get a pedicure for the first time in over a year, the ladies at the spa didn't recognize me.

I attribute my new awesome job to the surgery. I finally dug up enough confidence to go out and look for something new, and got it. So now life is even better than it was before because I'm not stuck at AwfulJob anymore.

Life is good. I'm so happy I can say that.

Hugs to all,

Bryn
