So it's been a little over a year since I've had my surgery, I've lost 76lbs! Now here is the crazy wonderful part that i wanted to share that has inspired me to keep it up. On mother's Day my children all made me a card as they always do, however, my 9 year old made a list of all the things she loves about me or words that represented qualities i had. The word that made me feel confused at first and then happy was ATHLETIC in my 33 years of life i have never been referred to as athletic (fat, chubby,curvy, thick) maybe but never athletic. I realized that my whole family has seen my journey and the changes i have made better then myself. To have her see me as a mommy that is athletic and out doing physical fun activities with them has been the best reward better then dropping a pants size.

Ahh, you brought tears to my eyes. So sweet and what a great NSV!!

<sniff sniff> All this awesomeness in one post makes my eyes Water a bit
