its the little things...

So lately Ive noticed a lot of little things going on in my life that most people probably take for granted. Like I've started crossing my legs every chance I get. Many times it's not even on purpose, I just do it and THEN realize I'm sittingh there with my legs crossed lol. Sounds like a silly thing to marvel at, but you see 75 lbs ago this wouldn't have been possible. I've not crossed my legs in well over 15 yrs...this is HUGE and it makes me feel so feminine...I LOVE IT! I also notice a lot more energy, I just want to go DO stuff, anything, all the time! And my attitude in general is so much better. I've always been somewhat of a "glum" "ho hum" person, but lately I'm so cheerful so much of the time. I'm just happier than I've been in a long time...

Stats...
weight this morning was 307 on the dot
I am 10 wks post op...
Im down 75 lbs..WOOHOO!

I also have a DATE tomorrow night with a man I've met online. Hoping it goes well. We have been chatting via text and on the phone and he seems nice, and hes CUTE! It would be SO nice to have someone in my life again...its been a LONG time since I've had a relationship and I miss having a "special someone"...Will report back tomorrow night!

A new start, a new me

Yep, thats the game plan at least...a new me and a new start in life. After having been overweight my whole life, and morbidly obese for the last several years of my life, I decided to have Gastric Bypass RnY surgery. My surgery date was April 19th, 2011. To date Ive lost nearly 45 lbs and Im just over a month post op. Its AMAZING to me that Ive lost THAT much in such a small amount of time. I cant SEE the change in myself in the mirror, but I can feel it. And it feels GOOOOOD! Ive dropped a pant and shirt size, I have more energy and just plain feel good for a change. My reason for surgery wasnt to look better, it was to FEEL better, live longer and live a better quality of life. Ad a single mom of three GREAT kids, I want to be here as long as I can for them, and experience as many wonderful things with them as I can. Im so excited about the next chapter of my life. The sky's the limit...theres no telling what good things are in my future...Life...HERE I COME!
