sniff, sniff + 2 years post op.

Yup...I got the sniffles and sore throat from my son. Thanks bud! This morning I can't smell anything and I'm looking for the Zicam. I'm just hoping this is the worst of it. Jonathan got it pretty good this time. So far I'm not half as sick as Jonathan has been. Yesterday Jon asked me to get some ice cream cause he has been sick for 3 days and he hasn't had ice cream yet. See if you get sick around my house you usually get a treat. (I usually crave a sub sandwich when I'm sick for some strange reason.) Jonathan wanted ice cream. So this morning he is finally feeling better. Jon woke this morning and wanted ice cream and toast with PB for breakfast. LOL Since he hasn't ate much the past few days and has been feeling crappy I served him cookie dough ice cream and toast for breakfast. That story was just silly enough I had to share. Ice cream and PB toast for breakfast. LOL

I went to lunch yesterday with a friend. It was nice. It has been sometime since I've done that. 2 1/2 hours later we were still chatting but had to part. It was a nice lunch with a good friend I enjoy. Yesterday she also offered me my old job back at the farmers market. I'm so relieved...At least it's some money and a start. I really liked working at the market too. It's still awhile till the market starts but I thrilled she thought I did a good job and would like me to sell her product again for them.

So Saturday is my 2 year surgiversary for me. I started this journey weighing 294 pounds, and have weighed as high as 350 once upon a time. And as time passes and the weight fell off I still look forward to the future. I can't wait to be 5 or even 10 years post op. I'm just as excited for the future as I was in the beginning to have the surgery. I am thrilled to weigh 150 pounds. I feel great and I know what I have to do forever now. And I'm not as scared anymore. Worried, and aware but not scared. Never look away again! Never tell myself my jeans are getting tight because of the dryer, and never lie to myself again. It's all about moderation, picking the correct foods to put into my body. Not just for today but forever. It may not be what I "want" to eat, but I ate what I wanted for years and look where that got me. This is my chance to show myself I can do this...and I will!

I ♥love♥ the new me!
