Default I Still Can't Believe It!!!

I know I haven't been around as much lately, been really busy with work and all, but I just had to tell someone! I weighed myself again today (I only weigh myself like once a week or more) and I've lost 80 lbs!!!! This is so amazing to me. I had surgery 4 months ago and was one of those who felt, this is not gonna happen. I will be the one it won't work on.

I actually took in a bunch of my shirts to a "tailor" (can't think right now), and got them all taken in. I feel so wonderful! I'm wearing shorts again (haven't in public for at least 10 years). I know I still have a ways to go and I really need to get with a routine I can keep with. I know I'm definitely not exercising enough. But I'll do it, I'll find something. I never want to go back to the way it was.

Sorry.....rambling.....but my friend wasn't at work today and I was too busy to talk to anyone else. Had to tell someone. Thanks for all the encouragement from the people here, I don't know what I'd do without it.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
