My 6 month road trip

[JustJenn 542]

6 months ago I had RNY surgery and although it was the hardest decision I've ever made its the best one, second to marrying my hubby of course:)

I went from a person who was 11 pounds away from 400!

A person who ate to feel full and satisfied

A person who ordered way to much food at drive thru's and ate every bite

A person who hid behind ugly plus size black clothing

A person who never exercised because I felt as if I was judged

A person who ate her food in 5 seconds

A person who sweat just grocery shopping :/yuck

A person who never had energy to play with my toddler

A person who was unhappy with my weight but never did anything about it

To a person who values active play with a 3 year old

Who love to shop for cloths even if they only fit for a month then they are too big:)

Eats less and slower and feels satisfied

Loves the way my husband looks at me

Loves that I can and want to walk up 3 flights of stairs every day and not be out of breath or dripping sweat

I love that a hour at the gym gives me energy

I love that I don't die on the elliptical

I love that I can jog in the treadmill.

The list goes on. I am stuck at 262 but I Celebrate the 127 pounds down from my start and the 97 pounds down from day of surgery.

It's been an adjustment but in 6 months I am so happy God gave me an opportunity at a healthy life.
