Reach my goal weight in 2009

Well it the new year. It has been 6 mounts since my surgery and boy how my life has changed. I have lost approx 133 pounds, I am now exercising 7 days a week. I am feeling better about myself. I love to shop for clothes and look good in them.

My New Years Resolution will continue to be the same as it has been to improve on my health. This is the year I hope to reach my goal. I will continue to go to my support meetings and keep the weight I have lost off.

Remember to follow your dreams,

     Well its Thanksgiving day, my morning was spent working on the computer and getting ready to see family later for an early lunch. We met at a local restaurant because the family had grown so big. The meal was great, I had to pick and choose carefully the items I ate, not being to eat much at a time. The meal was great, I only ate a bit this year and not the massive amounts I used to eat.  I thought it might be a little different this year but I did not miss the big plate of food and the hurting in my stomach because I ate to much.  
      All of my family members were there. Many were shocked to see me for the fist time. I was told over and over again how good I looked. Many of my extended family members had not seen me since last year. This was the first time I have seen them since my surgery. I know that in there minds my family remembered me from the last time they saw me. My family had remembered me as the person I was, and had not yet met the new me. I will now start moving forward making new memories with my new body and new found health.
     I have received many positive comments and support from my family. Many told me that I made the right decision and had added many years to  my life. I felt great. I know that many of the oohs and ahas and positive comments I have been hearing for many months will someday stop. I hope that day will never come, but I know that it will soon come. It is always nice to hear and always gives me a pick me up in my mind. I kinda try to remember these moments for times I need a pick me up.
     I know, people will soon forget the person I was, I will make new friends along the way and many will not know the person I use to be. This is why I try to remember these moments.  I will always remember and will try to lock in these moments in my mind forever. I will never forget the person I use to be. I say "Hello" to the new me.
