New Me, New User Name

It's been 5 1/2 months and I am very close to my goal. A recent picture taken by my son just blew me away...I am skinny! (the picture is posted in my photo section). This has been a month of firsts. Being called skinny by people that rarely noticed me at work before; shopping for clothes and buying size 4 jeans!; confiding in a few friends about the surgery and being supported by them; going to the doctor and LOOKING FORWARD to getting on the scale; and weighing less than my sisters! (that's probably the best, as I was always the fatty in the family). What a high! No food or candy ever made me feel this good. I know this is a lifelong journey, but right now, if I don't ever lose another pound, I couldn't be happier. I know I've said it before, but I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!! Now, if I could just get my skinny butt off the couch and exercise!

My user name is no longer soon2bskinny...it is learned2bskinny. How appropriate:thumbup:
