149 days.  That is how long it has been since my surgery.  Yesterday, January 27, 2012 I officially reached onderland.  My weight was 199.2 pounds!!  My goal is 165 lbs.  With my bone structure, height, and muscle mass, that will probably put me at a size 8.  I haven't worn a size 8 since I was in high school.

When I first started gaining weight in my early 20's, I avoided the scales like the plague.  I went literally years and didn't know how much I was gaining.  Later, after relatively successful periods of losing weight, I would become fixated and weigh every day.  Now, the scale doesn't hold a lot of power over me.  I do weigh frequently, but if it stalls I don't threaten the scales with a hammer (as  I have literally done in the past

I am so very excited that I am below 200 lbs.  A few weeks ago, I had a nosy coworker ask me how much I weigh and I unashamed told her 201 lbs.  She nearly dropped her cup of coffee ...unable to believe I weighed "that much."  I don't think even at my heaviest, that anyone would have believed I weighed 278lbs.  I believed it...I lived it.  Encased in fat, I felt trapped...

So as my journey to "freedom" continues, I celebrate this milestone....and look forward to many more!

My RNY surgery has changed my life!
