Hi Jessica!! Size 8 pants - holy cow, ditch the ticker is right!! I am still in 12/14's. I have a few pair of 10's waiting for me in the deep recesses of my closet - that's my goal size.
Congrats on your ink - do tell what it is ;)
I did get another tattoo while I was away - I got the date of my surgery in roman numerals right by my "50 pound panther." I refuse to do any more until I get to goal as a further motivator :) I still have plans for the exploding scale someday. Maybe the day I can fit into my size 10 pants, hahaha.
one pound at a time baby, one at a time!
Hope you are doing well Jessica, and thank you for welcoming me home!

That's actually really an interesting thing that being at goal doesn't stop the "failure" feeling. What do you feel you have failed at regarding the loss? Do you mourn the wasted time being fat - I sure do. Silly but I do.
You aren't kidding when you say this is life long, like i said in another reply, we don't know what "normal" is and I suspect i will spend the remainder of my years wondering and searching for a normal feeling in my own body.
I hope you feel better soon - the winter doldrums really can add to the stress!!

Thanks Crystal. I guess lots of us have gone by the wayside for a while, but it's good the new year brings us home again. Being back feels very okay, though I am not going on any other OH boards so I can just manage to handle one chain of thought regarding wieght/surgery, etc.
I hope you are doing really well and happy Crystal :)

I am glad you can relate Susan. It was silly of me to think "i was the only one feeling this." I probably wasted more time feeling sorry for myself, etc, than I care to admit. But maybe that' sa part of this whole process? We don't know what "normal" is supposed to feel like....maybe this is it? Sometimes I wish I had friends that have always been thin, to see what they think/feel.
And wha't s this, a baby for you!! Congrats and I hope you are feeling and doing well!

Shar, I can really relate to you, I tihnk we both think the same way. Thank you for trying so hard to find me and for being that little bug in my ear to come back to the fold. I do appreciate it so much.
I know in my logical self I have not failed, nor has my RNY failed me (believe me, the grumpy tummy still rears it's ugly head from time to time to remind me all is not well in tiny tummy land). I mean for us to even maintain for months and months is amazing, isn't it? When did I not fluctuate 10 or 20 or god knows how many more pounds a month before - or worse yet, just keep going up and up and up. So i know it's good, but it's not ENOUGH good and that's the part to work on now.
The journey never ends, that's for sure!

Lisa, thank you so much for the warm welcome back! A tummy tuck, girl, i have missed so much. I hope you are feeling well and I can't wait to read all about it.
You really are an inspiration to stop feeling sorry for myself and stick to it. I know how hard it was for you when the weight was dropping off everyone and you were stuck in plateaus - now look at you!! I am so proud of your accomplishments (and yes, even of my own, haha).
I can't wait to participate more here, I really have missed it.

You are not a failure. You have accomplished so much. We put so much pressure on ourselves. We're alive and we're healthy. Welcome back. Now the important question, any new tattoos? ;-) I have to live vicariously through you. I actually did get one, but its where the sun don't shine. Someday I'll leave this conservative world behind....

It is. And yes, quite pathetic that you are still a question mark head. Especially with all the gratuitous photos taken in our little group...
