Does this mean that I'm 'Terribly Two now?' LOL!

Hello Everyone!

It is the anniversary of my rebirth today and I am so happy with how far I have come!  I know it has been a long time since I have posted and my last few posts weren't that positive however things have changed for the best.

First some words of encouragement for those of you who may not have started or are just starting your journey..........It is worth all the blood, sweat and tears that you may experience during your transformation. No matter what negativity people may emit just keep your eyes on the prize ahead because trust me there will be obstacles but nothing that you can't endure in the long haul. You will face the naysayers, haters, pretenders and some worst. But please don't feel bad or embarrassed about your decision to LIVE.

I am 2 years old today and I am almost half the person on the outside that I used to be. I'm still loving and living life!!!!!!!!
I've gone from 272 lbs down to 152 lbs. I feel like I did at 21 yrs old and I have the energy I used to have when my kids were babies. Sometimes I don't even know how I do it. My Thyroid, Cholesterol, Glucose, etc. are in the normal ranges again. I thank GOD everyday for allowing me to be healthy, happy and able to be here for my boys and all that their futures may hold. There is one thing that I will be committing myself to this year that I haven't done in the past and that's exercise routinely. It's easy for the weight to fall off but I have to do my part too to maintain this gift. This is a New Year's resolution that I will work hard on. Trust me it will be a challenge for me because I haven't done so in probably 20 or so years.

On a personal note my mother has gotten so much better with her comments and she is actually happy with my outcome now and brags just as much about me as she used to. My husband however is still struggling but I know that he will come around. I don't think it is the weight loss I think it is more that I've rediscovered my sense of independence and my outgoing personality is in full gear. My self esteem has returned and I'm not letting it go anymore. But enough of that, I just wanted to update everyone and hopefully encourage others to stay focused. I wish a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous '2009' for everyone and I will be posting some photos from the Holidays soon so keep checking on me!!!!  Peace and Love........Denita!
