Today is the 4 year anniversary of Lap band surgery.
This is what I looked like in 2008. I don’t even have the words.
It’s been a hell of a journey – what with lung surgery and all – but I’d do it again.
I’m 8 pounds short of the goal I will accept – 200.
I really want to reach 175. I saw what I looked like at 175 when I was sick, before lung surgery. That’s where I’d really like to be again.
I’m still trying to adjust to having my picture taken. For so many years I wouldn’t because I was just too big.
This picture is actually from the Oz trip in February.
I took one tonight but wasn’t feeling any love for it, sometimes I still feel huge. Sorry.
