Next Sunday! (or before) my RELEASE from OBESE!

Dec 12, 2009

Got up this Sunday am and as is my custom... went off to the bathroom then got on the scale.. in my birthday suit.

For some reason my ankles are a bit swollen this morning, but I was still pleased with what the scale revealed. I'm down to 175.5 from my (known) high of 288!

So that means next Sunday or before...
I shall be OVERWEIGHT!
I can't tell you how excited I am to become OVERWEIGHT!
I'm overjoyed!

What a true blessing this WLS has been for me!  True- I am losing slower than many, however, I have never consistently lost weight week after week.

Since my surgery I've had some really good weeks, some so- so weeks. But generally, I've lost some just about every week. A few weeks I've stayed the same.
BUT it all adds up! or.. DOWN as the case may be. Those little ups in the scale when I was in "the gaining mode" certainly added up without me noticing. Now these little downs in the scale are adding up ... and lots of people are noticing! THAT FEELS WONDERFUL!

Of course, being off my blood pressure meds, no arthritis meds (not bothering me as much- not just because I can't take NSAIDS). Sure I get stiff if I sit too long.. but I try to keep moving and that helps tremendously!!!

Just 40.5 pounds to GOAL! What a journey this has been so far!!!!

I'll be back as soon as that scale hits 174!
