Thoughts on 40 pounds

Jan 26, 2010

Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks post-op.  Today, I crossed the 40 pounds lost threshold.  Yes that is exciting in and of itself, but for me, 40 pounds has special significance.  Twice before in my adult life I have lost 40 pounds.  Once, in my 20's, for my sister's wedding, and once (again) in my 30's.  Of course, both times it took 8 months to accomplish what I have now done in 6 weeks.  And of course, in both previous cases, I gained all 40 pounds back and then at least 40 pounds more.  I guess the amazing thing to think of right now is that this time I know these 40 pounds are gone for ever. What a powerful, powerful tool the DS is.
