I made it... One year!
May 13, 2009
Well friends... I made it one year. Holy cow!! I am a huge mix of emotions on that subject. It has not been without a huge array of ups and downs. I have lost almost 100 pounds..if you count what I started with loosing before surgery I am down 100+. That feels good, but with set backs it is also frustrating to go backwards in my health. I continue to battle headaches - they came back after a few months, and all anyone can say is that I need to lose more weight... ARGGH! So I will keep plugging away at it until I get to my goal. I still look in the mirror and see the old me, and it is not until I look at my old pictures or see someone that I have not seen in a long time that I can step back and realize how far I have come.On a very good note, my husband and I are getting close to the end of a road to adopting a child. After years (we started in 2004) of looking at our options, asking a million questions, and making sure that we are ready for that kind of commitment, we decided, and now we have a child that we are hoping to hear very soon that he will be ours! That will help with the work out..a 6 year old boy that is very active! I have the first time mom jitters!
Until next time........
