Happy Birthday to me!! Today is my birthday…. today I turn 28 years old. YIKES, the 20s are going by so fast, I’m not really sure where all the time has gone! Although I’m getting older, I have to say that I think that I’m getting BETTER! A year ago, I never could have imagined that I would have gotten so much healthier, taken care of a lot of things physically that I had been putting off (eye doctor, dentist, etc.), received a BIG raise (in February), and finally started seeing a therapist to work on my mental health!
Although I’ve lost 137 lbs, I’m still not half way done with the journey to my goal weight and that’s ok. I have a feeling that 28 is going to be “my year.” I can’t believe that I’m 5 lbs away from being half way done with weight loss and 7.4 lbs away from being in the 200s! It’s been a good 7ish years since I’ve been in the 200s!
The day hasn’t really started off so great (and it’s only 8:30!!) and I’m scheduled to have a root canal in a couple of hours… geez! BUT, here’s to hoping that it gets better!! I’m really going to concentrate on myself for the foreseeable future! My goal was to be “flirty by thirty” (name of my blog), so I guess I’ve got two years to whip this shrinking ass into shape! Wooohooo!
Thank you all so much for the constant and continued support!
Flirty by Thirty 
Happy birthday… I hope this year brings you much happiness
Great job and happy birthday!!
Happy birthday!! You are such an inspiration to me. As someone who will reach 40 this year I can tell you, it only gets better from here! I think in our 20s we are still trying to lose a little bit of that self-consciousness. Now that you are 28 you are coming into your own. Keep at it and keep going!! You got this!!
Also, I hope your root canal went okay!
Thank you! The root canal went well, but I’m pretty sore today!! ugh!!
Happy happy birthday to you! Trust me, once you get to your 30’s, things are so much better and you will feel better in your own skin. You have given yourself the best birthday gift ever–the gift of improved health. Keep working that sleeve!
Boo to the root canal!
Thank you!! At least I can use the root canal as an excuse for not eating much at a family gathering this weekend lol! Silver lining!
Congrats on your weight loss. It’s a long long struggle so I wish you well. And keep making good food choices too. I had the lap band done on June 27, 2012 … and I’ve lost 103lbs so far (includes before the surgery too) in a 2 year process… have about 85 to go.
