Unbelievable…….

I had to get out of the house tonight. My sister in law stopped to see if I wanted to ride into town with her. I didn’t really need anything, but I just needed to get out. We went to the Dollar General. I saw this women in there who looked familar, and I kept looking at her, but no it couldn’t be her. This women was so thin and the last time (a few years ago) I saw her she was really heavy. Well I am in the check out line and she asks me…….Do you know who I am? I said are you Debbie? She said yes, I said Oh my I thought it was you, but I wasn’t sure. She has lost 160 lbs. ! She had gastric bypass. I told her how much I have lost over the past year. We exchanged emails and showed off pics of our kids and grandkids. I guess I was meant to go shopping just so I could run into her.
I am still feeling kind of down, but not down enough to quit or give up. Sometimes I just need to vent. Sometimes I vent big time. I need the release and know my buddies here understand this is my stress relief.
I hope all my buddies are having a great night!

    Good for you for going shopping! Sometimes I feel that we are “meant” to be somewhere at a certain time. That is great about your friend! Maybe you can use her success as motivation for yourself to keep going! I know it is not the same but I am sure she has to still work hard too! Feel free to vent here anytime!

    I just looked at your b4 and after pics. I didnt recognize you! I can really see a difference in your face! Keep it up girl!

    You are doing so well, and you should be so proud of yourself. The main thing is to think health.
    You can definitely see a difference in your pictures. Keep up the good work!

    I hope your friend’s weight loss will inspire you - although you are definitely dealing with this much better than she did as you are doing it on your own without any surgical intervention. I agree with the other comments that you can definitely see the differenc ein your facce. keep it up! You can do it! look how far you’ve come!
