Back from the dead
Well, it's been ages and ages since I have posted. So much has happened. My dad battled prostate cancer and won his fight on November 19, 2007 when he went home to be with the Lord. During that long illness I managed to gain back all but 3 pounds of the weight that I had lost. It was so very frustrating. However, there were also good things happening during that time. I married my very best friend and my soul mate on January 27th, 2008. He's been so supportive and helpful. I couldn't imagine life without him. I finally was so tired of the struggle... I had LapBand surgery on April 25th. It has gotten me on the right track. I was 234 the day of surgery and I am down to 208, so I back to almost within 10 pounds of where I was in December of 2006. I'm getting there slowly but surely. This has been a great tool and while I have to be very patient, it is working for me and I know I will finally get to my goal of a healthy weight. I want to be around to enjoy my family for as long as possible. It's nice to have something that I KNOW will work!
