I'm at GOAL!!!!!
Aug 26, 2010
FINALLY!!! I hit my goal weight at weigh in when I went to Pulmonary Rehab this morning. YIPPEEEEEE!!!I wanted to be at goal so badly by the time I went to WVU for our first ballgame and a visit with my son over Labor Day Weekend -- and I made it with a week to spare!!
This has been a helluva' ride, and there were times that I didn't know if I could do it or not. It's not been easy by any means. But having the surgery actually made the loss doable without feeling hungry.
I've had to completely change the way I think about food and the battle continues with head hunger issues. But I'll have to battle those demons for the rest of my life in order to stay within my goal range and be healthy. It is sooooo worth it!!
When I think back to when I began this process, I could only dream of being able to walk a mile -- let alone walking 10 feet without being so winded I couldn't even breathe or talk. Everything that I looked forward to being able to do has happened and I know that it can only get better from here on out.
Many thanks to all of the OH members that have helped me through the first part of the journey. You'll never know how much I've appreciated all your help, advice and input when I had issues. I'm sure there will be more as I continue into a permanent, healthy lifestyle.
To everyone just beginning the journey, or already on their way -- GO FOR THE GOAL!!!
It's an amazing feeling to get there!! Hugs to all --
