Loving My NEW Self!!

     Sorry it has been a while but so much in life has happened.  As of today I have lost a total of 108 pounds and feel so great about myself.  Now it hasn't been all peaches and cream and flowers...LOL!!  I have had some hard times especially when I taste something that is really good I want more but do to the band I can't.  I have shed some tears but they are tears of mixed emotions...Happy, sad, confused and most of all the emotion of WOW!!  Why WOW??  WOW that I have lost so much in so little time, WOW that I have so many supporters, WOW that I actually even had the surgery something I never thought would happen.  I can keep going on and on but you get the picture.  I am trying to my best in drinking my protein shakes but man the taste of some of them is just so nasty I don't like milk and shakes were never my preference when I did get ice cream Now give me some protein butter pecan and I will down that in a few short minutes.  HAHAHA!!  But I have found a new one at walmart in the refrigerated section and I can actually drink this one.  I have found out I do not like Yoplait Greek Yogurt at all!!!  That stuff just isn't normal.  I am going to include this collection of photos I have made so it will give you an idea of just how big I really was.  It is funny because when I was making the photo in pink smaller I had to go and stir the food I was cooking and handed my laptop to my daughter she waited a few minutes contemplating I guess because after a few minutes she asked me "Mom who is this lady?"  I at first thought she pushed a button on my computer and was being curious when I went to see who she was talking about it was me!!  I still can't believe how people don't recognize me.  Now even my own daughter couldn't recognize me in an older photo.  So looks like I need to start showing them more photos of me as a big girl because I want them to know me in photos when we are reminiscing about the good ole' days.  I want to let all my followers and readers know I am happy, I don't hurt getting out of bed, I can breath when I lay on my back now I feel absolutely wonderful!!  A life style change is what this is and I am getting better at it everyday!!  Thank You for the support and kind words through this whole process!!!!
