Hey all!

I really hope everyone is doing well. I can't even believe myself that I have lost more than I now way. I am now living in this great world but also fear in case I gain any weight? Is that normal? I am so scared as I can eat much more and more of the wrong things too! I am genuinely scared that every day this lovely life will be taken from me. Can some one please advise as to how best to get on with things. 

 

If any newbies are readings this do not let this stop you as I would never change this I am so grateful for my surgery, I will never change that. I would highly recommend this change in life. Not easy but the best decision I ever made!!!!

Hi all!!! I am so close to goal but it is so slow now! I am very proud of where I have come from but the head games have certainly started as I can eat more now. I need support and help with this. Meeting my surgeon in July but may bring it forward and meet my dietician as well. Financially things are very tough as I am now out of work 5 months! 

But the great news is in my personal life. I am nearly at goal and a couple of weeks ago my bf proposed and I said YES. So he is now my fiancé! How exciting.  I love him so much and can't believe every day how much he loves me. He really does. Can't wait to have my plastics done so I can finalise all this and be super sexy in myself and for him. I am going to another wedding this weekend so going to take a pic and post it later as I am wearing the same dress as one taken in march do it will show my changes since then. 

Hope everyone else is doing well an getting ready for the summer! 
Take care, Susan 

 Morning!

So I now weigh 154lbs at 5-2. I have lost  131lbs. I am over the moon with this and only 9lbsfrom my goal weight that my surgeon didn't think I would make. I am so blessed to have gotten this far. I hope my updates are helping someone but have to admit they remind me of how much I've accomplished. I need to tone ALOT but hopefully that will happen. Any advise on that would be amazing. Have my support group tonight and loving that as I missed last months one. They make such a difference to me. 

My holiday with my bf went brilliantly, I am so lucky to have him. And honestly I loved wearing my new clothes and feeling normal. The Canarians were lovely people andveryvery slim so to still feel normal sized there was amazing. I'm raging as I don't have many pics must check my bfs pics. 

Hope everyone is good and staying healthy. Oh forgot to say I was getting very very tired again and it turned out my folic acid was low so rectifying that now xxx

 I am so excited and nervous! I am going on my first sun holiday as an adult! Prior to this I would have done anything to get out of a holiday by the pool or beach and now here I am off to that very thing. I am still very nervous as my head has yet to catch up with my body. I don't seem to see this girl everyone says looks great but you know what the buying of the clothes was so much fun!!! My life has completely changed and I can't begin to explain how making the decision of wls has saved my life. I know I am rambling just I don't have anyone else in my life that might understand so I'm throwing it out here! Hope everyone is happy and healthy x

So here I am at 8 months, I am still in shock at how quickly time is passing me by as the first few months seemed sooooo long! So I added a pic of me at my first wedding since the surgery and it was with people that didn't know me and for the first time in my life I just felt normal. No one was saying "You have lost weight" etc etc and I was just me, the girl I always knew I was but never really got to show as I hid myself so much. I am beyond delighted to feel proud to be myself.

As for my weight loss yes it has slowed but I do not mind, I will tip along nicely now to my goal weight. I had it in my head that I would have hit it by my birthday (in a couple of weeks) but by no means am I going to beat myself up as I have done amazingly well so far. My skin is not brilliant but my gym workouts have decreased in the last 2 weeks so I need to up my game there again.

Also, you can see that I had to cut my hair quite short but I have new growth finally growing in so I am also over the moon about that as I was finding that very difficult.

Hope everyone else is doing well. xxx
