The pic on the left was taken 9/22/12. I was at my highest weight. Two months later, I went to my weight loss seminar to start my journey.

The pic on the right was taken 9/28/13. I had surgery almost 5 months ago, on 5/2/13.

From my highest weight, I've lost 116 lbs.

I feel like a new, different, better, happier version of myself.

I never aspired to be a size 2. Or hell, a size 12.

My goal for this surgery has never been a certain weight or a certain size.

I just wanted to have more confidence. To see myself the way I wanted to see myself. To feel cute. To feel beautiful again (because I've always known I'm beautiful! At any size!)

So although I'm still overweight and still need to lose more than 100lbs, I can't tell you how great I already feel. Yes, I'll keep working on me. Yes, I'm excited to see exactly what I can do with this body. I am motivated and looking forward to seeing where I'll be in another year.

But most importantly, for me, I'm ENJOYING MY LIFE. And for me, if I don't lose another single pound, I will have had all the success I could have dreamed of from this surgery. People are taking notice how damn fly I am. It's about time!! :)

I'm trying to prepare myself for the big changes... cuz I know more are around the corner. Life just gets better and better and better!!!
