Default One Year Ago Today.....

My life was changed forever! I'm down at least 158 lbs., healthier, and sometimes happier! Thank God for WLS! It seems like it was a long year and lots of BS involved, but I would do it again tommorrow if I had to. So to mark my one year re birthday, I'm off to get a tattoo and a pedicure. I took a vacation day so I could relax. I'm having a really tough time at work right now. The stress is killing me! Other than that, I'm a happy gal in a size 4,5, or 6 pants and medium to small tops! Last year I was in a 24/26. it is unbelievable how much difference a year makes. I couldn't have done it without you all here to support me! Give yourselves a big hug for me! Thanks for being such an important part of my life!

Denise,
I got your PM! I have been soooo busy. Sorry I didn't get back to you! Wish it could have been more, but I hope you were able to get something you needed with it. The tattoo is all about me! My Grandad calls me "Doosie". He writes that on all my b'day, Valentines cards etc. So I had him write that on a piece of paper and I'm getting it tattooed in his hand writing. He is the number 1 man in my life with hubby being a close second! I'm getting shamrocks on each side of that (love my irish heritage!) with my beginning weight and current weight. Kinda self centered, huh? Oh Sweetie, I wish we were closer too! I really wish I all you great folks close to me so we could do fun stuff! I have some good friends, but they just don't get it sometimes!

Amber,
You have so much to be proud of! Congrats!!! And I love the pedicure/tattoo day off...it's all about you!
You are truly inspiration...I hope to be in your shoes within the next year. Are they smaller shoes, too?
