Sweetie, we are all doing well on our journeys--including you!
My weight loss has slowed to a dramatic crawl for months. But ya know what? That's OK ! I am considered a 'liteweight'--about 100 lbs to loose. I'd like to lose 107 lbs total but if I don't well...I don't! I figure it this way: My health has improved 90%. I was diabetic, giving myself two types of insulin two times a day. I was on a higher dose of BP meds and I was on 4 different meds for anxiety and depression. I lived on Aleve or motrin or various other pain killers because my joints hurt so friggen bad. I still have arthritis but it's not as bad. Stairs--I can climb them w/o being winded. And the list goes on.
I look at friends I have made who had their surgery before me and got to goal quicker. I get a little envious at times too. Heck we are human it's only natural. Look at your preop pics you have changed so much and you look wonderful.
No Junesters are ever banned--we have a great group here.
hugs,
Jen

Pam,
I know, why are we our worst enemy? I have been doing the self talk and trying to focus on the present and not future, ie tummy tuck etc. cuz when i do start thinking of that i get discouraged. You wont see me post 'hey look at my new pics' or 'hey what do ya think of my glamour shots', etc. i dont write of wow moments.
Its interesting though, that when we look at some of the newbies, their bmi's are less than what mine is now at 1yr out and they are just now having surgery. Its just baffling to me.
thank you for your nice remarks pam...

Oh honey, don't ever feel bad for voicing your feelings. We are all here to support each other. I have at times had the WOW...how could they be at goal and I'm not. What am I doing wrong thinking. But then I realized that each and everyone of us are different. We each started at different weights, we each are different heights, etc. I had a BMI of 55 when I started. It's going to take me a lot longer to get to goal then someone that had a BMI of say 41. I just keep reminding myself of that and that I went into this surgery with a goal of getting my health. And...I have gotten that. I can breathe, I can not only walk, but jog now as well. I've gotten my health and I now say that if I lose anymore weight, it's a bonus. I'm still overweight, but I don't think I'll ever not be, I think I'd look really, really sick and what the charts say I should weight, so I have to be happy with how far I've come. And....YOU should be incredibly proud of how far you've come as well hon. Look at your pre-op picture and compare it to your most recent picture. That's the only thing I want to do comparisons on....it's hard, but I just keep reminding myself.
Love you for what you've done...I do!
