Thankful on Thanksgiving

Today marks 22 weeks from my surgery day. My highest weight was 315. My surgery day weight was 292. My weight today is 215. That's a total loss of 100 pounds total. I am so thankful for my journey. Thankful for my surgeon who gave me a new lease on life. Thankful for this tool to help me lose this 100 pounds and feel the best I have ever felt. 


This photo shows the comparison in my body from beginning to now. The left photo was on June 20, 2013 which was a week before surgery. The photo on the right is from today November 28, 2013. 

I am going to go indoor skydiving at IFly in Tukwila to celebrate losing 100 pounds. I'm not sure when I will be doing it, but probably in the month of December. I am so excited. 

My next goal is to get under 200 pounds. I want to be in "Onderland" soon. I know it will happen. This journey is hard but worth it. There are some days that I eat and feel nauseous afterwards and just wish I could eat normal again without feeling that way. But I think of the healthy rewards for losing this weight and I know I am doing the right thing.
