Ya know I look at pictures of me from a year or more ago and wonder who that person is. I had my surgery less than a year ago and I'm totally a different person.
It's amazing how much has changed. I feel so much better about me. I *want* to go do things and I *want* to be around other people.
The woman I see in the old pictures are just a shell of a person. I was so miserable and just so lonely. I can't imagine being that woman again.
I'm truly happy with me now.

Tell why I didn't figure all this out *before* I gained 150+ lbs?

Rock and roll doesn't create psychos, it helps psychos be more creative.

One heck of a journey - congrats on all your success.

My daughter is 4 and looks at photos of us when she was two or younger and always has to ask me, "Is that mommy?" She doesn't remember me fat! Im sure it makes no sense to her at all!

Keep enjoying it all (like you could help yourself) and don't waste time looking back. You're here now.
