OMG

I spent some time browsing through Flickr. I ended up on Chrisjoy’s site and shocked myself. I’ve always said I was at my heaviest in 2006, a year after my surgery. I found proof on Chrisjoy’s site…YIKES! I’d like to entitle this one my Jenny Craig poster…that is, if I actually used her plan.

Maybe just BS…BEFORE SOUTHBEACH.

Seriously…OMG! I showed hubby and shocked is an understatement. Yes, that was almost 2 years ago. I am so proud of what I’ve accomplished thus far. I didn’t follow fads, I didn’t pay thousands of dollars, and It wasn’t too difficult to lose 35lbs. It took some time, perseverance along with trial and error. Non the less what kept me going is my love for my hubby and kids. They inspired me not to lose weight but rather to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It’s a form of unconditional love in that they were/are my motivating factor through it all. To be healthy so I can share a lifetime with my hubby and to enjoy my kids as well as to be an example. I don’t think I would be as proud if I did it all for me. I don’t think I would have been successful if not for them. To want to feel “hot” or look “good” for others as opposed to really being healthy, falls under vanity. At least in my opinion.

So here I am today, 2008. I have another 30lbs to go. More time, more perseverance, more trial and more error but all for LOVE.

At the moment I am basking in accomplishment and truly feeling content!
