Susan pointed out something in yesterday's comments that I had nearly forgotten about....
Last week was my one year surgiversary (did I even spell that right? Is it even a real word?). April 15th, I was officially 365 days out of surgery and am 107 pounds down from my starting weight. I am doing kick ass kickboxing, and taking horseback riding lessons. I feel much better about myself, my body and my life. Yes, I need to get my butt completely in gear again to lose these last pesky 48 pounds I'd like to lose (Step away from the carbs!), but I have complete faith that I will. I've hit a rough patch of stress (gall bladder, mum's death, Aaron failing English) which brings back some old habits of nibbling, but I will again rein them in.
I saw the following in an office a few weeks ago and really liked it, so in honor of my one year out, I'm going to share it with you. It kind of says a lot about us C&P girls, I think. And when you are finished reading that, go and read this, which makes me very angry. There is a link to a petition but I think tonight is the deadline to sign it.ABC's to Success #2
