2 lb to goal weight

Feb 01, 2011

I actually reached the first goal that I set for my weight loss in September 2010, and after reaching this goal, realized that I would really like to weigh a little bit less.  I reset my goal for 135, then reached that one in November.  I have now reset my goal for 127, and have resolved that I will not change it again.  If I continue to lose after I reach 127, I will just be "below goal weight" that will be super nice also.  I don't know that I have ever been below goal weight since I was 18 years old, over 40 years ago.
I can eat pretty much what I want to, but try to eat a balance of protein and vegetables.  I do have a little bit of a sweet tooth, and seem to always have to eat a piece of hard candy or two most every day.  Fortunately, I have always preferred regular food, such as entrees, vegetables, and salads to desserts.   Especially when I am out to eat at a restaurant.  I can't eat much, and so am never tempted to get desserts. 
I am in my 12th month since VSG, and weigh 129 as of the day before yesterday.  I plan to lose the last 2 lb between now and
Feb 23.  My 1 year surgiversary.  I have been working on trying to establish a good "Maintainence routine"  but of course since I have reset my weight goal again, I will need to go back on weight loss mode again to get to goal by my 1 year date.   That means increase the exercise.  I have really been slacking on that.  
Missing my husband, who died suddenly this summer.  He was so very supportive, and helpful once he knew this was something that I wanted to do.  He was not very verbal about my weight, but he knew that it bothered me, and was supportive of whatever I tried to do to get control of it.   I wish he was here to see my success.  He had been very proud of the progress that I was making.  He had said that I was looking good. 
Still lovin my sleeve.
