8 Months
Feb 16, 2010
Hard to believe EIGHT months ago I was waking up from surgery thinking "WTF did I do to myself?" LOLSo many amazing things have happened and I don't regret it for a second.
The weight loss is still slow and steady - 76 pounds - but I am determined to keep working with my tool and to get 50 more pounds off. I thought I would have had 100 off by 6 months like some lucky people - but I've felt healthy and I feel strong and maybe that is worth more in the end than doing it "quickly."
Exercise is easier
Clothes shopping is enjoyable - some size mediums - size 16
I get constant compliments
I started seeing someone I have had a crush on for 6 years - I finally had the courage to let my presence be known
I fit in a plane seat comfortably
I FEEL better
I sleep better
I'm working hard to kick up the exercise and jump start the weight loss again. My sweet tooth still gets the best of me, as does the carb monster, but at a much different level than pre-surgery.
Hoping to be to 170 by my one year, that's a lofty goal, but I'm gonna give it my best shot!!!
