Thank you all so much for the kind words of support I have received today, and throughout this whole process. Tomorrow is my 1 year anniversary and "re-birthday". My mom, my angel, my best friend has been my biggest and best support and there is no way I could have made it through this without her. In addition, I have made some new wonderful lifelong friends along the way - melissa, greg, desiree - you all hold a special place in my heart. Words cannot express how thankful I am for this website. Although I do not post often on the message board, I am always reading the updates, and thinking of all of you who do post. It is weird how I feel like I know people who I have never really met, yet I feel we have this unspoken bond. This journey has it's ups and downs but it has been a wonderful ride so far. I started at 374 pounds and have lost an amazing **156** pounds!!!! I feel so wonderful, and have so much to look forward to. Just this weekend I came across a list I had written prior to my surgery of things I wanted to do (great timing, huh). This list was actually written on one of my trillion attempts at weight watchers, but no matter how the weight was lost, it was things I wanted to do. I was so excited at the number I am now doing - check it out: I Want To: WEIGH LESS THAN 200- almost done, I am 219 ROLLERSKATE WITH MY SON-done on christmas day when both of us got new skates from my brother ICE SKATE- done the week before Christmas with my family at an outside rink in Philly at Penns Landing NOT WORRY ABOUT FITTING INTO CHAIRS - done FIT IN BOOTHS -done SHOP AT REGULAR STORES - done, size 18 or an XL TAKE THE STAIRS - done (most of the time :-) FIT IN A SEAT AT THE MOVIES - done, with room to spare BUCKLE MY SEATBELT - done, safety first TO USE A NORMAL SCALE - done CROSS MY LEGS - done, done, done GO ON A ROLLERCOASTER - will be done this summer many many times!!!!! These are just a few of my many milestones. There are so many things I can do now, and interestingly enough it is the little things that no one else would notice unless you have been there. The smallest things that I am able to do, that I couldnt before, just make me smile - like someone being able to pass by me in a tight aisle or walkway. Or bending over to pick something up or tie a shoe. I just feel so blessed. I wish you all the best of luck no matter where you are in your jouney. and again, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!
