@@The Candidate - LOL! Me too! Though I hadn't thought about that before!!

Ha! I'd settle for under 40 again...

When i was first sleeved... all I wanted to be was normal. You know, just normal. Not the hugest woman in every room. Not the woman who outweighed all the men. Not the person who was pretty much "invisible" or invoked disgust since I was so misshapen due to obesity. Not the person who had to shop in the plus sized. I just wanted normal.

You know what I got? - beautiful! i know that sounds like bragging, but I love how i look. I love my body. I thank God daily (and I don't even claim to be Christian) for this gift. I have something that so many women take for granted... by the grace of God... I am an attractive person. I have girlfriends who are so incredibly beautiful and they are so self critical. I just want to shake them... dang it! Appreciate this - don't judge yourself so hard!!!

The words I have chosen probably don't accurately describe what I am trying to say... but after being trapped by/buried by fat... it is a wonder what it is like to be free from it. I am saddened by so many who feel so unworthy and even after weight loss don't recognize just how amazing they are. How incredibly beautiful they are - both inside and externally. How incredibly worthy they are of having the best life possible.

I have to credit a person in my life who helped me see this. Without his affirmations that were genuine and so generously given, i might still be one of the doubters...

I want to be in the 100's

This was a good one for me to read today. I often ask myself what I want to be when I grow up :) Truth be told though I can't remember the last time when I wasn't the "adult" in the room, even in kindergarten :P

I am happy to grow old (means I'm still alive!!) and I hope to do it gracefully....but youth is definitely something that I do miss, just to be able to recover quickly from the adventures of life!!

I am where I want to be. Although I sometimes think that I want to be a lottery winner????. That would be ok. Right?

* Stay in the 140s. :) :) :)

* Not worry at all about my weight. :)

* Spend more time (happily) in the gym. :)

* Keep wearing 8s. :)

* Enjoy our retirement with my beloved hubby. :)

* Continue to be full of gratitude for VSG surgery and how it's given me my life back! :)
