Hello and goodbye... :-)

I can't believe I haven't posted in here since April! Life has just been flying by since I hit my goal weight.

Currently I weigh 152 pounds - but that fluctuates daily. Sometimes I am 154; other times I get down to 151 (my lowest weight). Regardless, it's all good and I am so, so, so happy with my results! Sure, I want plastic surgery but, all in all, it's just amazing.

I guess once I hit goal, I felt like Melissa's Transformation was complete in many ways. Sure there have been times I wanted to post, but I never did for some reason. I've come to realize that I am ready for the next phase of my journey - and a new blog.

So, with this said, I would like to officially announce that this blog is now complete. Looking back on all the writings, I realize I sure have come a long, long way. All the fears, all the anxiety and all the what-ifs are now calmed. After months of wondering what will happen, I now know how the story of Melissa's Transformation ends.

• After years of being obese, Melissa is now finally a healthy weight.
• Melissa is no longer held back by 100-plus of excess pounds.
• Melissa feels good and doesn't dread going to the doctor.
• Melissa doesn't dwell on or stress about her weight anymore, nor does she constantly feel self-conscious about her size.
• Melissa doesn't have to worry if she is going to fit in a booth, get major anxiety about try to squeeze into an airplane seat or feel like crying in the dressing room at Lane Bryant.
• In fact, for the first time in her life, Melissa likes the way she looks in clothes, absolutely LOVES shopping and still stares at the size 8 and size Small tags in her clothes every time she puts them on.
• Melissa now gets to share her story of hope with others who feel hopeless, and she is now tackling a new job with a new company filled with people who didn't know her at 324 pounds.
• Melissa is finally at peace with her weight and feels incredibly liberated from all that excess weight on her body.
• Melissa is so grateful to God for giving her a true do-over in life and for allowing her to finally experience life in a normal-size body.

With all this, though, comes a new world and new issues to tackle. Just because you are no longer obese it doesn't mean all the issues that accompanied it are gone too. Which is why I wanted to start a new blog. I won't spoil it by talking about here. You'll just have to come see me there. :-)
