I Forgot My Bandiversary!

melissalee · October 20, 2005

Life is just way too hectic. I can't believe I forgot my bandiversary yesterday. It was only in reading Betty's post that I remembered. But I feel good. I've accomplished my first goal of hitting 100# by this time and I know that I will take it all the way. I feel (and look) like a totally different person. Well, not a different person per se but rather an older, wiser version of the old me, before I got lost under all that fat. I am at the same weight now that I was when I met my DH but I can say that my attitude is completley different. And he notices it too. I am no longer discontent with my weight, my looks, my life but rather much happier that I have been given this second chance and I am not going to waste it on comparing myself to someone else that may be prettier or skinnier or whatever. It's nice to be comfortable in my own skin for the first time in my life. I'm not saying that there still aren't things that I don't particularly like about myself, like the hanging skin everywhere. But I wouldn't trade that for what it was. Not on your life.

Happy belated bandiversary, and great job on the 100 plus pounds as well as the great NSV's! What an inspiration.

Happy Bandiversary!!!

Congrats on your FABULOUS success. You started about where I am now - so you give me great hope for my future.

I guess if Insurance pays for the surgery, I will have to put a little cash aside for my future PS!
