Finally did it

I am 11 weeks Post Op tomorrow, and I have lost 104 pounds!!!!!  I am SO excited.  I feel so much better.  Last week, I was upset, because I had only lost 4 pounds.  This week I was so excited to see I broke the Century Mark.

I want to be honest about something for a second.  When I was bigger, I let a lot of things go in my life.  Hell, I let EVERYTHING go.  I lost a step, I lost my self confidence, I lost my self esteem, I was a miserable person, and I made everyone around me miserable.  I never wanted to leave the house, even to go to work.  I was on the brink of divorce, and was just in  a bad situation.

I am not in touch with the person I was 11 weeks ago.  I don't even know that person anymore.  I am completely different.  I wake up in the morning, and I am excited to take on the day.  I don't want to lay around the house anymore, and sleep.  I have more confidence, and a higher self esteem, then I have EVER had in my life.  My relationship my wife, my kids, my co workers, and friends, has improved 100%.  When not busy, I find things to keep myself busy.  I am excited about my life now.

Because of this BIG change in myself, in such a short time, people are waiting for the other shoe to drop.  I have a new philosophy, that I have instituted.  Today, I am going to be the best person I can be.  I can't change what happened yesterday, and I can't predict what will happen tomorrow.  Today, is the only thing that is real to me.  As long as I handle what is going on today, I am fine.  Of course, I have goals, and what I do is concentrate on achieving those goals, or moving closer to them today.  That has worked for me.

I have noticed that my new attitude is infectious.  People around me, are starting to keep up with me.  They are, becoming more and more, like me.  I am excited about this new attitude, and for today, it is energizing me!!!!
