7 days until im 27!

In one week I will be 27 years old! EKKKKKK! I hope I can wear a pretty dress. I can't wait to see what number the scale tells me that day. My boyfriend and I have an offer accepted on a house we love. Fingers crossed that the financing goes through alright and its ours. My smile is unstoppable. I hope I make him just as happy as he makes me.

This journey is far from over...

It has been awhile since an update...but here we are today I am 195 pounds down! In about 8 months I believe....just wow. I was 407 pounds in December 2012 and the scale said a number closer to 200 than I have ever seen at 212 lbs. I was 250 plus in high school so in adult life this is the smallest I have ever been. I have dreamed on being able to put on a medium shirt...it has happened. I swear it was just wrong sized but I am mostly between L-XL depending on brand and item. So sad how much the clothing market plays with our minds about what size we are. We are all different and healthy is not a number on a scale or a pant size. I now have a boyfriend and we are actually getting our first home together soon. Offer was accepted Friday. : ) Hopefully this journey can continue just how I have always wanted...it is nice knowing that he has known me since preschool as we actually went to school together all these years. He accepts me for me...it is hard for me to do that everyday so I am glad someone is able to. It is a struggle with my lose skin I feel that is what gets me the most. Knowing you have done so great but you still don't feel "normal". One day hopefully I can afford the surgery and I can live life possibly less insecure about that part. I hope also to be able to use this journey to somehow make a movement of some kind. Mostly sharing how you never know what anyone has gone through or how they feel about themselves on the inside...just be kind. It will solve many things. Happy to say that heartbroken sweetheart is now able to be just sweetheart. Hopefully my boyfriend will one day call me that too. : )
