It is hard to believe that it has been six months since my life changed for the better...were to start...first and most importantly I AM HEALTHY...YEAH...no cholestrol problem, no more diabetes, (my A1C is actually below 6) and my over all health is great...WLS has changed not only my eating habits, but I find that I am a lot more out going and confident with myself that I have ever been...I still have to "check" myself everyday because it is still a struggle not to FALL INTO OLD HABITS....but I continue to strive toward NEW habits...I am down a total of 75 pounds and I am extremely happy....I have not really lost anything over the last month, so I know I have to up my exercise and make sure that I am eating enough and not eating to much "not so good for me food".....my check up with Dr. Weiger was great...he is still very pleased with my progress and he told me that it is all up to me at this point...that scared me a little when he told me that....he said, that my "honeymoon stage is over".....my goal is to lose 35 more pounds, so I will keep positive and keep going day to day...My life is AWESOME....thank you Dr. Currie...the tool that you gave me has helped me release a lot of "baggage" and I have a new self worth and excitement for the future...blessings to you all......

I haven't updated in a while...I am almost 5 months out and today I stepped on the scale and was down 71 pounds...I can hardly believe it....I have had good days and bad days over the past 2 months...stalled and now losing again...I am realizing old eating habits are challenging....I haven't dumped, therefore I find my mind wondering to old comfort foods....boy what a mind game....I feel confident in realizing the "OLD HABITS" and look at what I have accomplished since WLS and there is nothing that tastes as good as I feel with 71 lbs gone....I will keep positive and stay strong and continue one meal and one day at a time....blessings...

Today I actually reached onederland....down 60lbs...I can't believe it...I am soooo excited I can hardly stand it....I went right to the gym to celebrate with a walk of little over a mile and then biked a little over 8 miles...so much better than the chocolate that I would have celebrated with before...lol...my day has started off to be WONDERFUL...I am truly blessed with my family support and for the support of my OH friends...I thank you all...
