lose at least 125 pounds.

I am about 15 weeks out now.  I have lost 50 pounds.    I've learned to eat better, and I'm much happier with myself.  This makes me 1/3 of the way on my journey.    Can't wait to get the rest of the way.  It's still amazing to me how little I can eat.  I never thought I wouldn't love food and love to eat.  I never thought it would be under control, and now I am finally in control. 

It's getting better at 10 weeks out.  I ate salad for the first time yesterday, and it tasted so good.  I have lost 40 lbs now, and I am really starting to feel the difference in both my body and clothes.  It's a good thing too, because some of my clothes are getting a little thin in the fabric.  Since I'm not getting sick as often, I feel much better too.  I still have to watch eating to fast, not chewing well enough, or eating a little too much.  It's all such an adjustment and quite the learning experience.  Hopefully, by the time I am a year out, I will have adjusted completely.  And I hope to be much closer to my goal.

Today, I am 4 weeks out from my surgery.  Things are going much better.  I am getting more fluids down, and am eating better as well.  I've only lost about 20 pounds, but I know these things take time.  I'm just happy that I am feeling better.
