Made it to 40 years
Well, I made it to 40 years old...there were times when I wouldn't think I would have made it to even live this long...
After all of the GBS and plastic surgeries, it takes time to bounce back but if the last month is any indication, my 40's will be a lot better than the 30's. If I had known I would have skipped the 30's all together...lol
I had been alone and not done much in the last three years but finally decided to do something about it. I met someone not expecting much except to make it through the agony of the first date. It ended up flying by..it was fun. The second date was even better than the first...Long story short, we've been inseperable since my 40th birthday at the beginning of July. It took me while to tell her about the whole "obesity" thing which was huge to me but she could have cared less...Who would have known... I'll attach a pic.

Happy 40th and good for you for doing this for yourself by 40. I turned 40 at my highest weight...so much for enetring the 40s the way I wanted to. (However...I'll be on the losing side by 41! and by 45...hopefully I'll be doing as great as you are).
Amazing weight loss...you've obviously worked hard. Congratulations...I hope you fill find all the happiness you deserve. You guys look great together.
