HAPPY 5 YEAR RE-BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

It has officially been 5 years today since my bypass surgery.  Here are my stats as of today...
Weight: 138
Pant size: 8 (some 6s)
Shirt size: S/M
Food control: average
Self esteem: most days above average, but we all have weak moments

I am very proud of my progress, my stability, my ability to recognize myself slipping back into old negative food addictive habits, and my acceptance of my body, my positives, and my weaknesses.  I still plan to have a tummy tuck and breast augmentation someday when finances allow, but for the time being I am committed to being the best I can be with what I have been given.  I try to incorporate a workout plan in my daily life…although I slack from time to time I am committed to the long-term goal of being healthy.  I still have a love/hate relationship with exercise, but I understand how important it is to my self-confidence and overall health, plus it sets a good example to my little girl (who is 10 now!!).

On a personal note, since my last post I have divorced, bought another Ninja, changed jobs, started dating, learned a lot about myself and my choices, and just recently have decided to go to college full-time w/n a year.  Life changes quickly and I feel prepared now to tackle all the challenges thrown at me.
