A Woman's Wealth

If a woman's wealth were measured by the love her family has for her, I hope I would be counted among the richest of the world!

If a woman's wealth were measured by how much love she has for her family, I know I would be at the top of the list.

Weird!

Okay, so I had gastric bypass surgery on June 10th. I was going to keep it a secret and then I thought "what the heck? If I do things correctly it isn't like no one will notice" so I tell everyone who asks now. They funny thing is, if I walk out on the yard here at the prison, I have inmates asking me if I am okay because they have noticed that I have lost weight and they are concerned if I am sick or not. I am not sure how to feel about that :~) I don't know if they are concerned because I have lost weight so quickly, or if I just look crappy so they wonder if I am sick. Weird. Actually, I think it is the weight loss thing because one asked if I was doing Jenny Craig. I said no, Jenny Craig is too hard. Haha!

Anyway, I have gone from about 209 lbs in May, down to about 149lbs right now. It is the weirdest thing for me. I shop in the size 10 pants. I don't see myself any different but my clothes, not to mention all the wrinkles on my face (fat is a great botox), tells me that I am different. Mostly, I am off all medication and my blood pressure and cholesterol are normal AND my migraines are gone!! I feel good and that is the fun part. The down part of it all is the fact that I am ALWAYS cold! Unless I eat too much sugar or fat, then I get really hot and yucky. I try to avoid that feeling like the plague!

Well, just wanted to update you all. I know, everyone wants me to post pictures. I will. I will send them to Deborah and she can post them for me. Either that or I can wait until they come for a visit in the next couple of months and she can do it then. I love their annual visits!

Okay, that is all for now.
