Today I  joined  the  Biggest Loser event  at the  gym at my job. The  coach  took  my  measurements and  weighed  me. She was  like  "wow" the  last  weight  we  had  on you was  12/20/10 and  you weighed  225lbs. And  today  you  are  187 lbs that  is  great. I just  snickered  to  myself  and  laughed. I stopped  for  a  moment and  basted  in  my own  victory. I  have  come  a  long  way and  still  got  a  long  way  to  go. I am motivated  and  determined. I refuse  to  fail...I was  blessed  enough  to receive  this surgery ...so I am  definately  going  to  make  sure I  do  everything I am  suppose  to  do. It  feels great  to  LOVE me again. For  the  first  time in a  long  time (years) I feel pretty. I  know  that  is  probably a  horrible  thing  to  say  but  it  is  true. There  is nothing  attractive  about  being  over weight and  miserable. And  miserable I was. Now  I  know how  important self  love is. Because  after  all  if  you  don't  love  yourself...who  will?

The  weight  loss  seems  to  be coming  off a lot  slower  now. I am 188.4 lbs  as  of  today. I am about a size  12. I can  wear  medium and  large  tops. I have  lost weight all  over;  which I am  glad  of. People  say I  look smaller than I am which always  brings  a  smile to my face. I am  going  to  work  harder  and  get  the  remaing  43.4 lbs  off. It  will  be  a  challenge but I  know that I  can  do it. I have  so  much  energy  it  is unbelievable. I would do  itall  over  again in a  heartbeat. I go for  my  six  month  check  up  in  May. I wonder  what I will  look  like  then. I have  some new  pics  to  post...so  keep an  eye  out for them.
