In the words of a fellow blogger (www.sallyslapbandjourney.blogspot.com) because she so inspired me this morning! Go check out the rest of her blog ~ she has great tips!
"On the 20 hour drive back I pondered these questions:
Have the physical and emotional changes over the past 15 months been worth it? Abso-damn-lutely yes! I would do this all over again. I can't remember when I've felt this good.
What has been the most surprising part of this journey? The increase in my self-confidence. I received a promotion about a month ago - I attribute that promotion directly to my increase in self-confidence.
What has been the most disappointing part of this journey? The fact that I waited several years before looking in to weight loss surgery. I was ashamed that I couldn't seem to control my weight on my own. How silly that seems now.
What has been the most enjoyable part of the journey? Over the past few months, through the blog and through word-of-mouth contact, I've met so many new people that are experiencing the same things I've experienced. I love to talk with them about the journey, what I've discovered, hear about their successes, and hopefully help them through tough times.
This journey will continue for the rest of my life - but every day gets a little easier. I now have to focus on maintaining my weight and being the healthiest I can be - after all, wasn't that the whole point to weight loss surgery?
I can't wait to continue blogging about this journey."
