This week I had some Pretty awesome Epiphanies.
1. I've been pretty darn depressed being on the fibro drugs and pain killers (I'm a Go go go Girl (no fringe dresses or cage dancing tho! <YET>) I was Depressing myself out of getting stuff done that I want to accomplish. The other night I'm sitting exactly where I am now going through some work and sending out SEVERAL samples and I remembered
I'm Me and I'm Fricking Fabulous! Like Those V8 commercials where someone gets smacked in the forehead it was like DUH IDIOT REMEMBER YOU!!!
2. I have my followup appt with the WLS doc in April and I've been putting a lot of pressure on me to lose the last bit of my weight he wants me to lose. . .Now I went to a new NUT on Thursday he's an actual doctor and not a protein drink shiller and he basically said You've lost over 30% of your initial body weight you're doing Really remarkably well. I ofcourse responded inwardly with a hearty yeah right. Last night DH and I went to dinner with some friends. I hit the ladies room and was confronted with a full length mirror. Thank God I was the only one in there!! I stared at myself (we don't have full length Mirrors.) Whoever came in would have thought I was the vainest girl EVER!
I tend to See myself in my head as being a 12/14 my previous longest sustained smallest size range and I let out a Holy BEEP I'm Tiny TINY! So While yes I do want to tone up and I'm still going to work on melting my Adipous flesh (forever) I'm successful Dammit! I'm actually doing this and succeeding. It feels really good.

Now the continuing mission is to FINALLY Feel Good (fibro, anemia, the laundry list) On a side note Dr Nut is really good!!!! I'm going for a blood work fest next week and a gallbladder Sono to make sure Everything is kosher
Anyway I wanted to share with y'all
Ok off to clean!!!

First... I want to say....WOW look at the stats! You should seriously invest in a full length mirror! It's not vanity to LIKE yourself! I fight with my mom about that all the time!

Second... YOU ARE FABULOUS, DARLING!
no really, I have always liked your funny and encouraging thread and posts.

Third... "the continuing mission" to seek out a strange new life, to boldly go where no one has gone before!

Ok, my parents are Trek-ies

Epiphanies: They will either kill you or make you a better person. Sounds like you are going to survive!!! TG!! I wish they would come up with something better for fibro. My whole family and neices all suffer from the demon! Now about Tiny Tim HEE! HEE! You are sure a long way from where you began! I'd say you are very, very, successful rather you can cage dance or not; I'd say you are freakin A1! Notice your collarbones, how skinny your fingers and wrists are, you have a neck and your belt fits around your middle instead of up under your bosom!!

Life is very short, fifteen minutes ago I was your age. Get going girl! You have a unique outlook on things. If I remember right your wanted to write?! So do it! They say write about something you know and your adventure of your life has captured my interest and that is only the stuff that I know from this thread. I'd say you are a keeper!!! Don't wallow man, you are right you should be celebrating!!!

Thanks LAdies!
