Arms Around Me.

Today, has to be a great moment for me in my journey so far. My seven year old daughter comes and wraps her arms around me, and as she noticed that she can hug me and her arms fit around me,she looked up and said momma, I can finally hug you and squeeze my arms around you. You are getting skinny and I am so proud of you. I just teared up and said thank you baby, I just felt so good to hear my kid say such a nice thing. What a moment in my journey!! 62 pounds down so far, and feeling good.

    It was a great feeling, my daughter is the #1reason I had wls. I want to live for her. She is an inspiration for me. I couldnt have kids, and I was blessed to be able to adopt her. Now I can be here for her.
