I had gastric bypass a year ago and I've lost 144 lbs to date. Getting over a divorce. Keeping the weight off, and learning to loving myself

I love being over 40 because I feel like my life has actually just started. At least for me. I had kids young and married and was just incredibly miserable because I was living for other people. It wasn't until I was on my own where I could get better mentally as well as physically. Being 262 lbs at 5'2" made it hard to live. So with surgery I was able to get my life back.
How do you stay fabulous?I've had a complete life change with having gastric bypass surgery. I am now eating properly and exercising. I treat myself with respect, love and my body is my temple.
What would you do with the $40,000?It would help with the skin removal surgery that isn't covered by my local health care or insurances. I'd also love to take my mom on a well deserved vacation for being there for me through my depression, anxiety and life change I've made.
