I want to be your inspiration!

[Queen of Crop 1,103]

Two years ago today, my husband of 20 years had a melt down and told me for the first time how much he hated my body and that our sex life was terrible because I was fat. This was the first time he had ever said anything and I was pissed, shocked, hurt and confused. I thought about walking out because it was such a bombshell, but over the next two weeks we got everything out in the open (including me telling him things that I had held back). We cried, we fought, we talked, we made some decisions. Although he could have handled it much differently, I couldn't deny that he was right....not to mention my health was going downhill.

A month later, I had WLS, that was October 2011.

A year later, I had lost 80 lbs and reached my goal weight. That was September 2012.

I wrote a blog every Sunday for the first year. If you haven't read it and you want some inspiration, please go to www.queenofcrop.com I want to inspire those who aren't sure if they should do this, or might be struggling after the surgery.

My life today is an extraordinary, amazing life. My health issues are gone, my husband and I have never been closer, our sex life is more than amazing, I feel younger and happier than I have in my entire life.

I turn 60 in a few weeks. I feel 35. I think I look pretty good for 60.

I'm happy. I am grateful.

I LOVE YOUR BLOG!

I just saw your post yesterday and I read it all since then. Amazing! I'm so glad you're doing well. And you are an inspiration.

I'm so jealous of all your travels, I told my husband after I get my sleeve done(Nov. 14th) that we should travel for the year. LOL. It won't happen(he's finishing up school) but a girl can dream.
