Wow, did I really let a few months go by without an entry?!

I have been posting in the over 50 BMI forums and guess I have failed to post in my personal blog. I really love coming to the OH website. I attend a support group once per month in Seattle WA and I encourage everyone to come to the OH website! Knowledge is power and also the supports around us can help us in the journey for live with regards to losing and maintaining.
Since Sept. 2012 I have had surgery. Oct 31, 2012 I had surgery at the UW Medical Center. This was to reconstruct my abdominal wall and fix hernia. They did not remove skin nor make my abdominal area look better. However I do feel much better with regards to being able to do things with out feeling like my belly is going to burst. They cut out old balled up mesh and I do not look pregnant now.
I am working at losing the rest of my weight. I love going to the gym! Today my weight is 224 lbs. This is the lowest that I have been since having the RNY gastric bypass surgery. I look forward to the day when I am in the 100's...... I know that the day will come because I am determined and I know that it is possible if I beleive in myself and put the efforts into getting there! I guess I go to the phrase... Where there is a will there is a way!
I have jeans that are a size 16! I wear a large to extra large shirts and jackets. This is amazing to me.... Not so long ago, there was no clothes in even 10x that would fit. The specialty stores for plus size would not even fit. So yes this is a great feeling. I still however gravitate to the bigger sizes thinking that I need them. That part is hard to grasp on to sometimes. If the day ever comes that I wear a single digit size clothing, I am not sure I will really beleive it. Crazy how the changes are so mind boggling and yet I am in my own body. I am so still the same Sherrie and yet when I see myself in the mirror I look so different.
Well I will close. But I will be back. I will try not to let so much time go by without blogging here. I usually just end up posting in the forum I go to all the time.
I LOVE WINNING AT LOSING!!!!
Hugs,
Sherrie
