These two photos are almost one year apart and a smidge shy of 90 pounds different
When I realized I was sick…and on the brink of tipping into a world of awful days and some real scary complications, I made some fast work of getting things in order.
At the time, I had no idea I’d actually blow past my own expectations and reach a healthy weight I hoped I’d at least drop 40-50 pounds and it didn’t occur to me I might actually succeed. I just hunkered down and did what was right to try and get healthy and live longer. I have never looked back, I’m facing every obstacle head on, and doing my best to do so with good humor and grace.
I’m not always sunshine and roses, I get sad, I’m still afraid I’m too little too late, I get frustrated, and even lonely. But each time one of those feelings surfaces I try to make a distraction either in my own head or physically. I can’t hide in a bubble. I have to feel the feelings, find my way through them, acknowledging them and moving on. I mean to live fully, joyfully and positivrly.
And I love my new skinny jeans even though the scale isn’t where I’m supposed to settle just yet.
Love, Sue
