I am so blown away and humbled by my Wholesome Gifts Santa. She cross-stitched me a sampler that says "You Badass You"! I'm going to frame it and keep it close to remind me of the journey I've taken over the last year and a half.

600 days ago, I was an active drinker and not active anywhere else. I was 331 pounds and very unhappy. I decided to make a change and quit drinking. Then, I was accepted into a bariatric program at the hospital and had weightloss surgery. I've also quit smoking and really stepped up my health.

Today I am 600 days sober, 155 pounds lighter, smoke-free and healthy. Thank you so much Santa. I love my gift!
