Continued thoughts on a serious theme this week.

Thanks to LA (Waking Up on the Wrong Side of 50). She pointed out that I am so much better than I was four years ago.
Next time, or tomorrow is always an option. Giving up just because you fail today doesn’t mean that tomorrow you will fail again.

Proud of myself? Nope…frustrated. Frustrated that I have regain, and it took having pictures to show me what I look like again. Frustrated that I have allowed myself to not follow the plan, and the tool that I fought hard to have help me.
June 2015–Washington DC.
I have to be proud that I am no longer there – right?
February 2019 – Disney Princess 5k —I am SO VERY PROUD of myself for this. Why can’t I just be happy with myself? It is a daily struggle – constant. David asked if I was okay with my weight, and I told him “yes.” But I am not okay with it. I feel so much better than what I did five years ago. Can’t that be enough?
Thankful. Frustrated. Proud. Enough.
Blessings.
Continues…

Thank you.
Today marks my third anniversary of my gastric sleeve surgery. I am still over a hundred (100!) pounds gone, but have regain.
The picture above is my heaviest – 315 or 316…the right – with my regain a coupe of weeks ago—a very windy, wedding celebration.
Some pictures of before the regain…
The picture below came in a card from the Surgery Center. The picture on the left was the Friday before surgery (after losing 20 pounds), and the right is at 183- my lowest weight.
I know I need to get a handle on my regain, and yes, I am very aware of the issues that are around the corner if I don’t contain it.
But…I come back to —I am not 316 pounds. I am able to walk – anywhere – and even participate in 5k’s. I might not be very fast, but I am out there. I am proud of where I am.
I am enough. I am able to so much these days…and nothing has to do with my size or weight.
I am enough. Happy Surgery Day to me.
Blessings.
