I never thought this journey would take me to where I am today.
It seems like just yesterday I had WLS. When I got on my scale this morning & it read 259.4 I was in shock. I knew I was getting close to having lost 100lbs but I didn't think that I could really get there. I went into surgery weighing 360lbs. When I say or even think about weighing 360lbs I feel disgusted & embarrassed. How did I ever let myself get that BIG??? I don't want to be that big ever again. I'm smart enough to never say never so I'll just say that w/ this new tool I will do everything in my power to stay healthy & keep off those ugly pounds.
I just got sized yesterday for a specially made pair of orthotic shoes. They should be here in 2 weeks & I can not wait. I haven't worn tennis shoes in over 2.5 years. I can only imagine where I would be in my weight loss journey if I had been working out 6 days per week after my first post-op month. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy having lost 100lbs in less than 5 months, I just think I could've lost a lot more had my feet been in good enough condition to work out.
I love that my sons arms fit all the way around me when he hugs me now. There's nothing better than a nice, tight hug when you're having a bad day.

I have 59.4lbs to lose & I'm bound & determined to get it off of me. This fat suit has been holding me down for years, I'm ready to live & try things I've always wanted to try but been to heavy to do. I'm one of those people that would love to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

Losing 100.6lbs feels great but reaching goal is going to be incredible.

I'll post some pictures when I'm ready. Hopefully that will be very soon. I still feel uncomfortable in front of the camera.

Good Luck to everyone that reads through these posts, wether you say anything or not. You to can do this. It's mind over matter.

Thank you for support along the way.

Much Love & Success,
Hilary

That's awesome!  Congratulations to you!  And I can't wait until my husband and I can hug each other all the way around--I bet having your son be able to do that is the best feeling ever.
