Hey y'all!!! I see a lot of new faces amongst the posts! That makes me happy!! Shout out to anyone still lingering around from the 2012-2013 time frame!
Like my title says, I'm approaching 4, yes FOUR, years post-op. Things in my life have taken a drastic turn from where they were at the beginning of my journey about 4 1/2 years ago. I never made it to my "goal weight" but I did drop 8 numbers in my pants size! Also went from a 2X top to just a plain ole L.
You can read some of my old blog posts to get a feel for what my life after surgery was like... most of it being a total shxt storm.
Obviously there's a reason I've come crawling back to my favorite network of supporters though.. I need some motivation and real solid support right now... I've *gasp* started putting some weight back on..... I have zero excuses other than not being able to find the determination I had in me before. I don't know where it has gone. I started gaining a little weight back probably at the end of 2015.. A couple of pounds here, a couple of pounds there... Here it is 2017 and I've gained close to 45lbs back. I'm still 3000 times more comfortable in this body than the one I was in a few years back but I'm starting to feel a little ashamed about my lack of discipline.
I'd love any words of encouragement. And I'd really appreciate any feedback from anyone that may have gained a little weight back then hopped right back on track again.
Thanks in advance!!
