100 lbs. gone!!!!!!!!!

Jul 27, 2009

Excuse me for my shock - I was so panic-stricken from my recent weight gain that I think it really helped me get here. I noticed since I went back to really monitoring EVERY action - the weight loss started to move again! So I find myself here...I have finally lost that golden 100 lbs.!!!!!!!!!! I started this weight-loss journey in May of 2008. I started at my high of 341 prior to surgery and I lost some before the surgery last September. I have been so disappointed that it was going so slowly these past 2 months I think I didn't believe it would happen. It's hard to read about others' successes and not look longingly at your own numbers. But I have been adamant about NOT getting hung up on the numbers. Just keep moving - just take action - just have a plan. So here I am!

I have an appointment with my neurologist  tomorrow. He is the one who really pushed me into considering the surgery due to my health issues. I plan on bringing him a thank you note. I am hoping my "issues" are getting better and that my prognosis is better. I really wanted to get off the meds I am on but I don't think that will happen yet.

I need to let the shock wear off, then maybe I can really enjoy today. Right now, I (surprisingly) feel numb. Maybe a bit scared? Success is not necessarily a good friend of mine. I'm glad I know that so I can avoid self-sabotage.

OK - So back to one day at a time...one pound at a time!!!
