Today is my one year Band-aversary!!! Boy has my life changed!! A year and a half ago, I figured no one would ever give a crap about me cause no one wanted to be with a "big girl". It was a struggle to walk long distances and find correct fitting clothes. I always wore baggy clothes to hide all my fat. Now I am about to take up running and want all my clothes to fit...no baggies for me....

I have a great boyfriend now and get whistles from strangers all the time! This makes Herman very jealous!! Hehehe!!!

I love my band even though there are days when it feels tighter than others. Sometimes eating is a challenge on those days but I keep my soups close at hand along with protein drinks. BTW...Walmart has a great protein drink. It is ??????? Farms (I forget what the first part is). It is found over by the packaged cut up fruit. The Vanilla Chai Tea tastes like eggnog and has 20 grams of protein..I think the bottle is about 12 oz. Tastes really good, not protein-ish.

I have an updated picture taken by Dr Benavides office this past Tuesday to post....need help in adding to my before and after pictures (hint hint) When I saw Dr Benavides on Tuesday, he told me I looked fabulous and doesn't want me to lose anymore weight. He wants to follow up in a year. Woohoo!!!!!

So for all of you reading this wondering if it is all worth it. I am here to tell you it is!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats.....Awesome job!
