Valentines~Three Weeks Away from Sexy?

Just three weeks away from Valentines day 2010!

I really wanted to look good at Christmas, and I guess I did, but not good enough for that Sexy Red Dress yet!

Now I have set a challenge for myself to get into something red and sexy for my husband of 30 years for Valentines Day 2010!

I have been working out at the Gym since two months after my surgery (7-20-2009) and I am firming up a lot! Actually gained inches this past month, but lost weight too.

It has been many Valentines since we married in March of 1979. But I remember the first Valentines Day we were together just like yesterday and exactly what he bought me.

So this year "I" am going to give the special gift to him. "Me" wrapped up in Red!

I got the sweetest compliment from my husband,

"he told me he could love me for a lot longer, now that I have had the band, I would be around and healthy for a long time!" I was fishing for a compliment and I got WOWED! I never thought he felt like because I was FAT that I would not live as long as he did, and he feared losing me. What a revelation! But so true, because of all the co-morbidities associated with obesity! I looked at photos tonight from last July 4, and July 12th, 2009 before being banded on July 29th, 2009. I looked so miserable and my face was so red and I could not stand the heat. That is just not the person I am 5 and 1/2 months later, post band. My God how humbled and grateful I am for the LAP-BAND® Surgery and the knowledge and experience I have gained from having it.

My life will truly never be the same. Thanks to all you who post and blog! I love knowing I have your support and understanding as I travel through this life changing and life sustaining journey!:thumbdown:

Awesome goal...can't wait to see the pic of you in it! -BG

I have only 8 days under my belt. I sure hope I will be as happy as you are with the band and the results!! Congratulations!!! GO! RED!!
