9 Months Out, Never Felt Better!

I won't lie, it's been hard on my marriage, now all of a sudden I get attention I never got before. I don't pay it a lot of attention because I'm not used to it (hubby is not overweight), he has become very jealous. My head still sees the old me, sometimes I make stupid choices that make me feel guilty, but I jump right back on my course & things have gone well.

I started my journey at 280lbs, a lot of health problems and extremely unhappy. Today I am 180, 9 months out, year anniversary is Sept 15th, the day I considered the first day of the rest of my life!!! It has been!! :)

I've battled anemia since, but was predisposed to it to begin with so it wasn't a shock. I take additional supplements and have had a few infusions- should be ironwoman by now! ????

I love getting to wear 'normal' clothing 'again' although I've never been this small. The only bad thing is having to buy new clothing every time I turn around but, it's a good problem!!! :)

I hope you're all staying positive and having wonderful progress!!! I'm here to chat if you want to!!! ????

My pictures are exactly 2 years apart and the before makes me cringe! post-230052-14337972683712_thumb.jpg

Outstanding.

You are doing great.

You're husband is very fortunate and hopefully will see this and get onboard with the changes you've gone through and understand that you are the same person inside.....just more happy and much healthier.

He's got a smoking hot wife !!!
