5 Months

Nov 09, 2012

So I was 5 months out on the 1st. This journey has been one of many ups and downs. For the most part I am doing well. I have found myself going back to some old habits(sweets) but I am diligently getting a handle on that. I am down 67 lbs from my highest weight and 61 since my surgery. I am loving my new body. I can run for 15 mins and have been exercising 3-4x per week since I was 10 days post op. I love to exercise now and feel guilty when I miss a day. I am able to play with my kids with out feeling winded, and I can walk up stairs without having to stop half way through. I can drive my car and my stomach doesnt touch the steering wheel. So many little things mean the world to me. I am very proud of all the hard work I have put into myself and I am finally learning that I am worth it!! I will still struggle everyday as I didn't get to where I was overnight it will take me a long time to change myself and become the person I want to be but I have taken many steps in the right direction and am just hanging on for the ride as I continue on my life changing journey.
