reconnected

With my 20th reunion speeding steadily towards me, I have made connections with former classmates. And not the people I hung out with! When they found out I wasn't going attend my reunion, one of them called me and bitched me out for an hour. I was convinced after 20 minutes, but I continued to let her bitch at me, because it was so funny. I KNOW I am going to have a good time, hanging out with her alone!

Anyway, after the course of our conversations, my new rekindled friend, Lisa, shared that she has weight loss surgery 10 years ago. The surgery was still in it's adolescent years and has done a number on her and her body. I told her that I was finally getting my body reconfigured, she was very excited for me and gave me tips and advice and is whole-heartedly behind me. A shame that 1000 miles separate us, or we could be "diet-buddies." But I will settle for phone calls and email.

Lisa is getting a surgery revision and hopefully her body's system will get back to normal and she can lead a semi-normal life. (Neither she or I will ever have a normal life....we're too crazy for that!)

So, THANK YOU Lisa for sharing your story and for being an inspiration to me.
