I've been informed that I needed to blog, so here we go! :-)
Yes, it's been quite some time since I've blogged. Life has had it's ups and downs, as has the scales, but my health and life in general is great right now. I'm up about 20 lbs from my lowest weight, but at my lowest I know I was not healthy at all. I was sick from ulcers, and unable to hold food down much, and I had absolutely no strength. I'm trying to find my happy medium between the scale, my clothes, and my mental happiness about the two... it's quite a challenge!
So, I am 5 years out from my surgery, and I still feel like a success even though I've had a little of a gain. I work out 3-6 times per week now, and am truly feeling the strongest I have ever felt. I am back in school, and my Scentsy business has really taken off since I have last written a blog. I'm now a Director and have 85 people on my team. I've earned an all expense paid trip for 2 that I went on last June, and earned one for this year as well... wahoo!!! :-)
I haven't looked on my blogroll lately either.. Who's still out there?? :-)
A little look into my life.. Finding myself after having gastric bypass surgery, and the ups and downs along the way.

Still here with you chic! Uggh, I gained about 20 lbs last year too. Hope you continue blogging as yours was one of the few that I followed in the beginning of my own WLS journey.
Just read your blog for the first time. I'd like to hear more!
