A Blog of a Different Feather

Okay, so now that my actual surgery is over and done with, there doesn't seem to be much to continue to blog about. Oh don't get me wrong, for those of you few who may still be following, I will continue to blog updates on my weight loss. But when I started this blog, I thought the changes to my body were going to be what the new me was about. Oh if only I had known what 2009 was going to have in store for me.

The past 3 months have probably been the most chaotic time of my entire 31 years of life. But in this time of craziness, I have grown and changed so much. Me as my own person. With my type of personality, I have a tendancy to put most people and things ahead of my own personal needs. Probably one of the reasons I got as big as I did. But as I went through some very trying times, I learned how strong I can be. That is a new one for me! I have never considered myself to be a strong person, EVER! I guess my perception of strength did not meet up with Gods perception. I am a very emotional person, and I guess because the world sees emotions as weak, so did I. But I am learning to embrace who I am, because that's how God created me! Amanda! I am who God created me to be. I am a strong woman, oftens times I am a lot stronger than I give myself credit for. And I think that is something I've had to learn this year.

So my blog is evolving. It started with being just about a physical new me, but quickly turning into so much more! I'll post pictures soon of my weight loss. Almost 65 pounds down, and I am feeling great!
