Meeting my Guardian BOOB & BOOBS 3.0!

This is me and my guardian BOOB Gilly. She came to meet me in person today. She was the 1st person I ever spoke to about the band. She gave it to me straight and introduced me to blogging and the BOOBS (sometimes I think I got banded just to be in this super sisterhood of BOOBdom  - LOL)

Today is my day 9 after surgery. I feel so much better - maybe its because it was day 9 or maybe it was because I got ready like a silly high school girl to meet my new friend - this was a big deal - I haven't made a new friend since 2004. Maybe it was because Spring has sprung or maybe its because I feel like Im so close to beginning this new life - I don't know but it feels hopeful and I like the feeling.

We ate and I did stare at her and she ate the food - NORMAL - couldn't tell one bit. Meeting Gill in person made this whole journey a little more special. I feel like I found my long lost family (which Ive done before but they were aliens to me) this time I meet someone who gets it.

That's why Im going to BOOBS to 3.0 to meet all of you who are here. Im so excited!!!! Ive got a roommate Jenn and were almost at the same part in our journey (banded a few weeks apart). I've got my Chicago tourist stuff bookmarked and I'm looking at flights.

This year my life will be turned upside down and renovated. I have spent so many years staring into the mirror and having no clue who that was in there. Ive been depressed and fat and my body hurts everyday. I have never sat on the floor to play with my youngest son (he's almost 8) I can't wait to be the mommy my boys deserve not just a broken old version of this person I used to be. I hope that 'its better late than never' still applies here. Again I thank all of you for your blogs and for sharing your journey.

See you in the flesh September 27th!!!!!
