Remembering and Honoring the process

Sep 18, 2010

I am so rarely on this site anymore.  Isn't it strange how a great dependence eventually passes by.  I still feel the sleeve working and have allowed myself to plateau; well sort of plateau.  At my current pace I still lose but so gradually that a month might go by and I'm down another 1-3 pounds.   I wouldn't mind losing 10 more - and that might just happen at a super slow pace.  Even if I don't lose it though I am in a good place.  Oddly, after having lost the weight and had it off now for many weeks, more and more people just this last week made the comment "Anne, you look great".  It's like the weight change settles in and your appearance then gradually changes.
I wonder sometimes if my restriction will go away or decrease.  However, it is still good.  Just a few bites of pasta or chicken and wham I'm done - good 'ol sleeve.  I have an opportunity to help a friend through WLS.  She asked me to come to an informational meeting with her next month.  She thought she might not go if she was alone.  No one has to be alone.  Just ask.  There are so many of us who have made the journey who want to keep remembering it, honoring it, and ensuring we do right by ourselves and the process.  Never go back.
Thank you to all the people here who answered my questions, shared their blogs, and through the many forums provided much needed education and encouragement.
