Two Years, One Week and Six Days!

Feb 21, 2011

Wow, it’s been a while since I have been on here. Well it has been two years, one week and 6 days since I’ve had wls and I love every moment. As time goes on life just become normal. You start to forget about how big you were and the scars and cuts slowly heal. It’s amazing I have maintained my weight for a year but I continue to play with the last 10 pounds. My eating habits are what I would call normal, I eat bad some days but I pick myself up other days. When I get to high in my weight I watch it for a few months to bring it back down. Sometimes I just get sick of fast food and just need a good proper meal. Its amazing just how much I learnt about food.  

It’s strange you start to forget how you would always walking into a room and wondering if you’re the biggest girl around. You start to forget having to go into the plus size store but get a reminder as you walk by and you have a moment where you think to yourself “I used to shop there” as you continue walking by. The fat you has become something of the past and it’s amazing how easy it is to forget how hard it was to do the simplest of tasks. 

  I love the person I am today and my self-confidence is amazing. I no longer look in the mirror and wish I was this different person or wonder what happened to me. I like what I see except for the extra skin but it’s something that I can live with since I can cover it up with clothing. I am healthy, I love to do things and I find myself constantly trying to find things to keep me active.  

My life physically is an improvement.  My life emotionally is a disaster which I’m still trying to work out. Don’t NOT kid yourself that you will continue to be the same person because no matter what, we are going to change some for the better and I’m sure some for the worst. I’ve lost who I was and I’m starting to rebuild who I am. This is life changing surgery which will continue every day to change my life. My advice for today’s post is to make sure your relationship is strong!  

I’m sure that wls is a large contributing factor as to why I’ve change so much and my husband doesn’t know who he married anymore. I have looked back in the decisions up to my marriage and wish I hadn’t of settled. My husband is a great guy but as time (and it hasn’t been long) goes on I realize that he is not the guy for me. Also I want to explore the world and see what’s out there since I never did it before. My husband is great to me and I really hope that I’m not throwing a great guy away I just feel like I need the chance to explore.
