ONE YEAR BLOG-IVERSARY

That is right faithful readers...today marks my
ONE year blog-iversary!


Can you believe it? I have been blogging for one whole year! I am shocked myself that I still have stuff to say. My life is pretty boring but losing 150lbs is far from boring. Sure I have a little more to go, but I wanted to recap the last year by following up on a list a created 1 year ago today!

It was titled Fry Me Up Some Reasons....Here is my 10 top fun reasons why I wanted Gastric Bypass with my now follow up answers.

#1 I look forward to taking up only one seat on an airplane. (Personal space, please!)
Have not been on an airplane yet, but pretty sure since I can sit in the back seat of a car and only take up my one spot and the seatbelts actually fit, I will not be the dreaded person to sit next to on an airplane. Nor will I be the first one escorted off the plane if they are over the weight limit.

#2 I finally get to sit in the back seat of a car, with two other people.
Like I said above, though I get carsick, it is such a relief not to be a burden to people and always have to sit shotgun. Furthermore, I can actually sit in the middle seat!

#3 Say goodbye bigger water bills for more laundry. (Save the whales:)
I can actually say that this one is true! Since I am smaller, I have smaller clothing, thus smaller loads of laundry. I have gone from doing 4-5 loads of laundry a week to only 2. Not to mention I am adding 3-4 more outfits from working out at the gym. I must say it is pretty cool to only have to fold and do 2 loads of laundry. Shamu and I are buddies:)

#4 I wont have to say excuse me every time I have to squeeze past someone.
SUCH a relief! I mean really....how annoying was it for my belly or other large areas bumping into people. Now the only thing busting people up is my HUGE purse or my boxing punches.

#5 I will save money on replacing furniture I break. ( How do I budget that Dave Ramsey?)
TRUE! I have not broken a single piece of furniture this last year. Let me tell you....those cheap chairs are not even budging.
#6 Better gas mileage in my car.....(I don't know if that is true, but lets go with it:)
Sadly this is not true...Maybe it is due to the fact that at any given time I have my weight in water bottles in my trunk. I do drive a Honda, so I really can not complain about bad gas mileage.
#7 Look out here I come Bounce Houses and Ballet.
Still no ballet! I want to do it so bad...but have not found the time and dont quite have the leotard body;)

#8 Even Rollercoasters will be more fun. (Scared to death, not scared to die)
Most def will not ride one...still so scared!

#9 STILETTOS. I don't have to worry about snapping off the heal.
OH MY GOSH!!! SO fun!!! I love me some stilettes! So hot and so fun to wear. Like I have said before, I have no one to be short for so going from 5 foot 11 to 6 foot 3 is no problem.

#10 SHOPPING SHOPPING SHOPPING! Did I say SHOPPING?
For sure an expensive perk! I have never bought so many clothes in my life! It does get annoying because I buy something cute and wear it less than a month and it is too big, but hey it is fun to shop. Fashion Find Fridays was born because of my love of shopping.
Well so there you have it! I predicted some exciting new things...and there they were!
Hope you enjoyed it:)
