I am really excited today. A year and half ago I was in a job that made me miserable. I gained lots of weight due to stress and got to my highest weight of 260. I finally realized I was at my lowest point and left the job in march of last year. In June of last year I had my surgery. As of this morning I have lost exactly 120 pounds!

Well I am going back to that place today to help someone teach a class. I am wearing my size 2 jeans, (last time they saw me was size 22) my medium shirt, and The biggest smile I have ever had.

Can't wait to see their faces!

Awesome!! Congratulations!!! I love the new lease on life this surgery has given me as well others!! Your post made me smile!

One of the best posts ever!! How sweet it is!!!

I concur!!!!!

This is a wonderful story! I am hoping this is how my high school reunion goes. I graduated in 2005 so 10 year reunion isn't too far off. I'm down 60 pounds since my surgery- May 30.

High school wasn't great for me. I was obese even then and had very few friends. I ate lunch alone hiding from everyone else either in the lounge or sometimes even in the bathroom as gross as that sounds. I didn't go to either of my proms and cried so hard about it. Most people weren't outright mean to me or anything though a couple were.

J, have you ever seen on TV that particular KIA commercial and the gorgeous lady who comes out of it and steps on the red carpet to the reunion? Listen to the short narration as they show the car. THAT lady will be you!
