Life Goes On

Hey Readers,

It's been a while since my last post.  I think I'm well overdue.  Not a lot has happened since my last post.  Obviously, I've lost more weight.  I'm about 230.  For the first time, in a very long time, I feel great.  I recently had to go out and purchase two suits for a few "meetings" (read between the lines) and it was great to purchase a suit and not have to get MAJOR alterations.  Before my surgery I was wearing about a 54-56 in the chest.  This time around, I was able to buy a 46.  It may not seem like much to you all, but it was a big difference to me.  I was actually able to take the suit off the rack, go in the dressing room, put it on and it FIT.  The only thing the tailor had to fix was the cuff on the pants.  I wanted to scream from the rooftops.  Especially since, the first suit I bought was just like the one my late uncle, Harold Brown, -- who was one hell of a dresser -- bought and it's now my good luck suit. 
Me (at a "meeting") & one of my dearest friends Yvonne.

Since I'm talking about sizes, I bought some jeans a few weeks ago and for the first time in a very, very, very long time the waist size was a 38.  That too is one hell of a jump considering I was a 52 or 54 before. 

As I approach my 7th month celebration of "The New Me" I have to say life is good.  I can't complain. 

As always, if you know someone who's considering weight loss and they need someone to talk to, feel free to send them my way.  I'm happy to talk to and help people in anyway possible.

Thank all of you for your support, kind words and prayers.  I really appreciate it. 

Love and Peace.
