Today has been the most relaxing day I have had in a very long time. I had no plans, the boys were at my dads, the girls hid out in their room and Michael went to cut wood. I sat on the couch the entire morning watching youtube videos, researching the surgery and home organizing tips. I later got to go snuggle with my brand new nephew Charlie. Sometimes a mom just needs a day like today! As I watched and researched, a new fear set in ... am I going to get "too skinny?" By too skinny, I don't mean 95 pounds skinny ... I mean I hope am not one of those people who is just meant to be fat and looks ill skinny. I think until the last 50-80 pounds, I carried my weight pretty well. I fear that I will be one who looks older and uglier as I get thinner. I have heard and actually witnessed several people who have rapidly lost their weight, and my first thought is " are they sick?" When in reality they still had 75-80 pounds to lose until they made goal. I am not really sure what I will do to avoid this feeling, but my guess is that I will just power through it like I have done with every fear up to this point. If you have any suggestions or words of wisdom, please share!

Anytime you make a big change people are going to insert opinions, wanted or not. When I lost 50 pounds people were asking Leo if I was sick and it took me a year! When I cut off all my hair, same thing. Take it all with a grain of salt and Let It Go!

Yeah this fear was gone with the wind the very next morning when I woke up and saw my reflection in the mirror on my dresser. I was literally ROLLing out of bed ... I looked like one of those little people, or weebles.

This weight loss is only from June 2015 (I had lost another 51 pounds prior to this)
Blog MissionIt has taken me a long time to get to this point, but I feel like God opened the right doors at the right time. My vision for this blog is not only to document and share my journey with those who care, but also to encourage those who may be following in my footsteps. First and foremost though, I want to give all the glory to God & to focus on his plan for me throughout the journey. What you talkin' 'bout?VSG = Vertical Gastric Sleeve Categories
