Guest guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 My one year surgery anniversary is this week, tomorrow by the day, or Thursday by the date. I have no idea where the time went. It just doesn't seem possible that a year has passed. I have been thinking a lot this week about how much some things have changed over the past year, and how some things haven't changed much at all. I have been thinking back on how and what I was feeling a year ago. Over the past year I have lost 162# and become a much more confident and happy person. I never felt like I was ever the person I was supposed to be. I had to lose the weight to realize that I already was the person I was supposed to be on the inside. All of my problems have not magically gone away. I still struggle with compulsive eating, life- long habits are hard to break. Going out in public is still hard sometimes. The thought of meeting new people still fills me with anxiety. I do not have the " fantasy life " that I spent most of my life imagining I would have if I could just lose weight, but my life has a lot more potential than it did one year and 162# ago, and for that I am eternally grateful.
