Paula K.
2 years out!!!!!!!
Jan 09, 2009
I would have never guessed that time would fly like it has...It will be 2 years tomorrow that I have having surgery...I guess I should relect on the past couple of years, only it does not seem like it has been that long.I have been having an issue as of late about how I see myself and how everyone else sees me...Ok, I still have a hard time seeing myself at 164-168 lbs (depending on the day) and a size 12. Everyone else thinks I am crazy for that thought, but I tell them that I can't see it and they say you are so small...Then I say that a size 12 is not small it is normal, but I can see where they are coming from also. I started out in a size 24 so I am 1/2 the person I used to be.
I love to meet new people. They get to meet Paula, not the Paula that had WLS. They really are two different people, not that I am different but I don't want to be known as the girl who had WLS for the rest of my life. New people just see me and get to know the "now" me. I still hold seminars with my doctor a couple days a month. Try and figure this one out: I don't mind the people at the seminars to know about my surgery: crazy huh!!!
OK, now for what I am going to do for the next year. I am going to go back to the gym..It has been about 8 months since I have been there...I could not justify the cost of the gym when I could put that money in my gas tank..but I am going to pay for the whole year with income tax. I really do miss it... I guess that is all for now...
