149 days. That is how long it has been since my surgery. Yesterday, January 27, 2012 I officially reached onderland. My weight was 199.2 pounds!! My goal is 165 lbs. With my bone structure, height, and muscle mass, that will probably put me at a size 8. I haven't worn a size 8 since I was in high school.When I first started gaining weight in my early 20's, I avoided the scales like the plague. I went literally years and didn't know how much I was gaining. Later, after relatively successful periods of losing weight, I would become fixated and weigh every day. Now, the scale doesn't hold a lot of power over me. I do weigh frequently, but if it stalls I don't threaten the scales with a hammer (as I have literally done in the past
I am so very excited that I am below 200 lbs. A few weeks ago, I had a nosy coworker ask me how much I weigh and I unashamed told her 201 lbs. She nearly dropped her cup of coffee ...unable to believe I weighed "that much." I don't think even at my heaviest, that anyone would have believed I weighed 278lbs. I believed it...I lived it. Encased in fat, I felt trapped...
So as my journey to "freedom" continues, I celebrate this milestone....and look forward to many more!
My RNY surgery has changed my life!
