28.4 lbs gone forever!

Holy cow, am I feeling good!  Had rehearsal with the girls last night and my voice is more clear and I could stand in my heels for a lot longer! 

Mini Wows

- having a bath and not touching the sides of the tub with my hips
- tying my winter boots up with ease
- having clothes that barely fit before be loose on my already

Woo hoo!!

I love my life and I love my RNY!!

Dear Alison,

I'm writing to you today to let you know how brave I think you are. Yes, I said brave. You've been struggling with your weight and body issues for such a long time and all this while you've been thinking that it's your fault. You know now that it's not and congratulations for making this life changing decision to get WLS. I know you have been torn about this for a while now... trying to do it yourself and getting frustrated every time with the weight coming back and feeling like a failure. Well, no more.

You are such a great person - a great mom and a great partner. You're on top of your game in every aspect of your life with the exception of your health, so you need to read this letter again, and again if you decide to waiver - even slightly - about your decision. You owe it to yourself to not waste the next 40 years of your life wishing you had done something about it sooner... wishing you could enjoy your life to its fullest instead of being trapped in an oversized "meat suit" that does you nothing but cause you pain and limit your health and your life-choices.

You are a spectacular woman. Never forget that.

Your daughter needs her mom around for a long time to come and you owe it to yourself to be there for her when she graduates, when she has her first real love shatter, when she finally finds "the one" and gets married, when she hands you your first grand-child and you get to spoil that baby rotten, when she has a million questions for you that "only mom can answer". You don't have that with your mom and you know how much you need her, even right now.

Be strong, warrior child. Be true to your own needs and your own self worth. You are pure love and will live to see many days with your loved ones in divine health and happiness.

Love,

Me
