One Year Anniversary

...hey peeps! I know it's been a few months..live with it..! Hahah.. I just thought I'd share this day with y'all...so listen up!

It's my One Year Anniverary today - yup, it really is..and it's a bit overwhelming to think back to this specific day last year - December 1st, 2010: The day my life changed F-O-R-E-V-E-R...(whispers)..

These two pictures were taken just a few months before my surgery..and I don't really have anything else to add to that. Eh, well - hell I do.. Look at it!

Words can't describe what went through my head last night, when I 'revisited' this photo.... Don't ask me why, but I turned away immediately when I saw it...

I'm in no way ashamed or sad to see it - trust me - it's more like I don't really remember it. I thinks it's due to the fact that I'm getting more and more used to the new body on a daily basis and also I'm happy with myself and my new life.

Yes, I want to lose the remaining 20-25 kilos (40-50 lbs), I want the plastic surgery - YES, I want and need it all! My next apppointment is on December 13th - I'm anxious to see the plastic surgeon (hopefully), cause I need to know what the criteria is for this specific surgery is...wouldn't you?!

I want SO much more - not at once....and to be honest, all I want is this..... Have a great weekend y'all!

Time for an update, is it?!

Hey folks!

I realize an update is way overdue.. There hasn't been any since May 18th, when I finally passed one of my bigger goals - getting below 100 kg (lbs 220)... There really isn't any logical reason for the lacking update - there just hasn't been any news and also I've been very low on both physical and mental strength. I've started taking the bike to work, which means a drive between 42-45km a day - all depending on the weather it equals 2-2½hrs of exercise. YES - it makes me tired!

Many of you have since been asking about my life and health - it's great to feel the love and support! Life is still treating me good... :o) Weight-wise it's been going slowly, but it's giving me time to adjust to my body (which is NOT very flattering!) - it's even giving me time to actually get to the point of living life and not just sitting around and wait for life to happen to me. Over the past weekend I decided to create an online dating profile - calling myself "Lekkerbischen" - edgy, huh?! Yeah, it's a BIG leap - putting myself out there to be judged solely on appearance, but I'll still take my chances.. There's gotta be someone for me too, right?! You know anyone I can date?! Hahah..

For starters - I've chosen EliteDaters - not many people logged on (only +30.000), but I'm not too keen on the bigger sites yet. Also - EliteDaters are mostly people with a higher educational degree. To be honest - I've done the dating scene before - through a mainstream dating site - and the people there are just not serious enough. So I'll give it 3 months and maybe I'll change my mind and dig into the not-so-serious sites for a potential better chance at succeeding.. how about that? :o)

Also - I've signed up for a Running Dinner Night in August.. Should be interesting! At the moment I'm on the waiting list - as is a few girly friends of mine - I hope we get to go!

And finally - come Friday and I'm OFF for 3 weeks!!! I SOOOO need a vacation...have a look! A week of total relaxation and solitude..and my books from amazon...

That's it for now folks - a short update on life.. hope all is well with you?

PS...: Yes, the weight has been updated as well... ;o)
