Yesterday was a day of realization for me. I really did this, I really had surgery that placed a band on my stomach to help me lose weight. This isn't just a dream. I HAVE lost 27 pounds and counting. I feel great, I feel empowered, I feel successful! There are so many things in my life that my "fat self" has gotten in the way of. I may have followed through with these things and completed them, but they were never what they should have been, because in the back of my mind, I was just a fat girl. Well, guess what? I am no longer "just the fat girl". I am a beautiful, strong, independent, humble, loving, woman who has chosen to do something positive for herself and is going to enjoy the journey every step of the way. I feel like I am finally now able to embrace the woman I am, to enjoy who God made me to be. Not just the good things either. I am who I am for a reason. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks, not my mom, not my dad, not anybody. I have chosen a better life for myself and my family and THAT is what matters. It was a brave decision and it deserves to be embraced and celebrated EVERY step of the way.
BYOC1. Do you remember your last dream?
YES. It was a icky one that involved my children and I don't want to think about it again so that is 'nuff said!
2. Which is your favorite body part of the human body and why?
I love arms. Probably because I have my Nana's icky old lady saggy arms and wish they were well....not saggy old lady arms.
I love men's arms as well.....big strong, sexy arms. My hubby has nice ones! ;)
3. Tell me about your first kiss...
Chad Johnson. Fifth grade. Truth or dare. I was IN love with this boy and was so excited, but scared and it was just a peck. I look back and wish I would have just layed one on him. LOL
4. How big is your bed?
KING! We used to have a queen, but two years ago bought an amazing memory foam bed that is big enough to fit the four of us if need be. I LOVE it, it was expensive and a bitch to get into our room, but SO worth it. It's my favorite place in our house, hands down. ;)
5. Repeat question....whose blog or comment stuck with you the most this week and why?
Definitely Stephs poop blog. EWWWW. Who does that??
Also, myself.....I was being a whiny little baby and needed a slap in the face. I chose to do this, stop bitching and whining and get back on your happy train. This IS A GOOD THING!!!
