A year ago today .........

[Amrac1]

Its my one year surgiversay! Cant really believe its only been a year - but also it has gone so quick. A year ago I was 25 stone, diabetic (a whisker away from insulin injections) highish cholesterol, and BP. Was exhausted just by living.
Now I'm just under 13 stone (last Saturday's weight) normal blood sugars, cholesterol and BP. I ran over 2.5 km on the treadmill on Monday and wasnt out of breath.
But the real change is me. I am now a functioning person who can do anything! I am now a I CAN person rather than a maybe person. I am happy within myself. I still would like to lose a bit more weight and I will get there.
The last year has taught me loads. I have learnt how to listen to my body, I now recognise when I'm hungrey and thirsty and am even beginning to differentiate between the two of them. I have learnt how to enjoy excercise.
Regrets - no! Not for one millimetre of a second. Things I miss - yes having a drink with a meal. But hey! I have survived this year and because of the surgery I will hopefully live for many more!
