I am approaching my 3 year anniversary!
I have been away from this site for way too long. I was helped so much by everone's story when I was pre-op and newbie so I think I owe it to all the newbie to post updates.

I am not a role model. I eat what I want just smaller portions. I do exercise but havent been lately but that is going to change this month. I want to get back on track as far as being healthy. My youngest son is big for his age...chubby. I really need to do a better job at preventing the life long stuggle I had/have. My older two were always thin so I always let them eat what they want but I cant do with my baby. I go back and forth with junk and healthy snacks. I need to go back to cutting out certain things. I have been consistent with different lower fat options in my cooking but I need to follow suite with the rest.

Im still a 16-16w and xl tops. I am happy with that but hate the muffin top. My goal for the next two years, by the time I turn 40, is to lose 10-20 lbs and get a tummy tuck!

A little FYI....For those worried about eating cake at your kids birthday parties, Thanksgiving dinner, celebrations with family and friends, like I was. YOU CAN! You just cant eat alot! and isnt that what you wanted?!  At Thankgsgiving, I put a scoop of everythign on my plate. I cant eat it all but I enjoy eating a couple bites of each thing.

By the way, I am around 225 lbs. and 5'8" still obese. im ok with that. I knew I would never be a skinny minny. Would have liked to experienced it a bit but I knew being below 180 would be way too skinny for ME! I still would like to be under 200, 197 to be exact but if I never reach that, its still ok. I am already an improved healtheir me!!!!

PS I will post updated picture tonight.
