belated Merry Christmas to all! Santa teamed up with the storkthis year and brought to our family the best gift ever - a new niece, taking the total of nieces to 3 and nephews at 2. Guess I better start saving for Christmas 2014 now..
Christmas dinner this year was well received and a.significant improvemment on last years, and still on par with my average portion. I consumed no sweets, desert, snacks, or those nomalicious savories I enjoy so much and have drank no alcohol. My choice entirely, and.you know what? havnt missed them. Howevwr as we still have enough food to last until next christmas and I was gifted generously with 4 xxl boxes of milk tray, 3 large trays of ferero rocher, quality streets, celebrations, haribos, thorntons chocs, guilyan sea shells, choc.santas and lindt reindeers I think at some point I shall. funny.. when I was over 28stone I never got so much as a sniff of a malteaser despite the claims ofbeing "lighter than ordinary chocolate". Adamhas very kindly eaten his way through a box of quality streets but even he as a self confessed chocoholic is getting tired of it now the novelty has wore off. Between us both we have enough choc to open a sweet.shop and enough smellys.to give boots a run for their money.
so we spent our first Christmas together and
whilst we did nothing spectacular, it was magical, relaxed and heaven. I met more of his family, we had christmas dinner at my parents with my siblings and their little ones.. then christmas dinner at Ads mom and dads, watched obligatory movies such as Muppets Christmas Carol, Doctor Who, Downton and just enjoyed every moment. Nice to forget recent health probs, be normal, live a regular life and just living. I have Adam to thank for that. despite everything going on, he remains a constant and that is the greatest gift I have. We have further appointments on 16th Jan 2014 and hes coming along too. I know no matter what happens hes there and in his words "there is nothing that can break us or we cant work out together".
Since WLS and everything I count my blessings everyday and try make sense of things. Maybe Ihad to feel pain, hurt and everything to fully appreciate these moments? Whatever the cruel lesson is I had to learn, I think I now understand. however I know tomorrow Ill be all.. dam that wasnt it.. and the guessing game will go on but for now Im happy to bask in the warmth and cuddly feelings Christmas Magic has to offer and the arms of the man I love more than anything and has always seen the true inner beauty I posess and loves me for who I am, my faults. included.
I hope you and yours are well and wish you a very happy new year ahead x
