So many changes this year! From my highest weight of 275 to today at 151 I sit here today amazed at all that the last 365 days has changed my life. My family and I moved 500 miles away from family (from San Francisco Bay Area to Southern California) to persue my husband's Masters degree and take the next step in my career as an event planner. The kids have done well with the transition and I've done okay. It's very different to meet people today that never knew me as a bigger girl. And despite me losing 124 pounds, I am still one of the bigger girls here in LaLa land that I encounter. Granted, I know where I came from and I am SO happy. I don't need to be a bobblehead or have that perfect body. I have started consultations for plastic surgery but because of $$ that's not happening any time soon but still it was good to hear what the surgeon's suggested. Once that takes place, that will be one more step in this weight loss journey. I hope this post finds you all well and hopeful about your own journey. :) Happy Holidays.

I have one friend who's comments kind of hurt my feelings today but not sure if I'm just extra emotional because of the meds or if I'm just extra emotional because her true feelings are coming through. Being the role of 'fat friend' will no longer apply to me so how exactly will I fit in? Y'know? I have amazing other friends that support me in every way but this one friend I've had since I was 12 so it's a little disappointing.
My kids have been great.Very interested in seeing my 'owies' and my 6 year old who wants to help do whatever he can to make me feel better. My husband and Mom are awesome too. I feel like I'm rambling but in general, with the exception of my one friend, all is good.
