Finally reach my 1st goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100 pounds gone and I feel GREAT!!!
While I know it hasn't been that long...it feels like it has been forever! LOL But it happened and it couldn't feel better. I think we all have our own personal reasons for having WLS. Whether it be for medical reasons, personal reasons, or emotional reasons we all got here one way or another. Looking back I realize that losing 100 pounds didn't happen overnight. So what I should have been doing is celebrating the 2 pounds lost, 5 pounds lost, 10 pounds lost, 30 pounds lost....it took each of those benchmarks to get to 100 pounds....without those little victories I never would have lost 100....and if those small victories don't continue I will never lose anymore! I remember being the girl that sat alone at lunch, the girl who super sized any and everything. The girl who ate for all the wrong reasons and ate all the wrong things. I didn't have any noted medical issues I was just simply overweight and miserable. It was affecting my emotional well being more than anything. I has ZERO confidence, and my self-esteem was at a zero as well. While it is not at 100% yet it is certainly coming up with each pound lost. It is unbelievable the amount of pressure we put on ourselves to be perfect. I use to buy the fashion magazines and wish that I could look like one of those girls in there....and since I didn't I automatically assumed that I was unattractive, unwanted, and undesirable. It is funny how losing a few pounds changes your outlook. I no longer want to be one of those super skinny girls. I want to be healthy. I want to feel confident about myself, and my weight. I don't want to be the "big girl" of the office. I now look at food in a totally different light, not only for myself but for my son as well. We are a NO sugar household. If it has regular sugar in it I better not see it in the house LOL. We eat veggies...who would have ever guessed that a vegetable would taste good without being smoothed in cheese or ranch? LOL I actually count calories...before I never even looked at the back of a label, it really didn't matter what it said because I was going to eat it regardless.
But I am happy to say that has changed! Next goal is to be on ONEderland....then hit my overall goal of 180...which I may push back to 170 LOL. To EVERYONE who reads this I want to say THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
without the words of encouragement, support, touch love, and friendship I would have never made it this far. I hope I can show you at least 1/2 of the support and motivation that you have each shown me!!!
