Today I am 4 months post surgery.

I look back and see how much my life has changed. I was fairly lucky before surgery I had no major issues, no medication etc. However I was constantly injuring my foot in one way or the other. It felt like everytime I attempted exercise I was reinjuring my foot, spent quite a few months in a foot boot. But overall I was ok.

Since surgery I have not had one injury (touch wood), I work out 2 twice a day and have started running.

It seems almost coincidental that I have also hit my half way mark on my 4 month anniversary. 83 pounds down. I have thrown away all my clothes from pre-surgery.

Life is so much better, food does not control me. I am happier and more content with myself than I remember being.

I know I have a long road to go still to get to my healthy weight. I know it will only get harder from here on in but I feel up to the challenge. 2012 is my year.

Bring on the next 4 months.

WOW!! Congrats on your amazing success Can't wait until I can make these types of posts!
