I haven't dropped any weight in a while and I weight myself every day to keep myself accountable. I notice I am not losing in my usual pattern and think it will be a while before I start loosing again. I asked myself how I will feel if I stay at this weight for a month or two or even three. I am greatful!!!! I have lost weight and my body feels so much better than pre op. I don't have as much pain, I can keep up with my kids again, I feel better in my own body, and I am able to take proper care of myself again. I have a second chance at good health and I'm loving it. My body is doing amazing things and working it's ass off. If it needs a break that's OK with me. I am starting to go to the gym and plan to increase my exercise. It may help my weight loss and it may not but exercise makes me feel good and that's why I am doing it. I am pretty proud of myself for making it to the place where I can take things in stride. Maybe it means I am making some emotional changes as well as physical changes on my journey. So I guess bottom line, I have a lot to be greatful for

I am almost 7 weeks out and don't know if I am in a stall or not.  I don't own a scale and prefer it that way.  I know the Miracle is happening and I'm grateful to God also.  Ingrid I also feel I have been given a second chance, the truth being obesity was killing me.  I have also joined a gym and feel good after a workout.  I love your attitude and the emotional change taking place in your life exudes serenity.  I really enjoyed your post.  God Bless !

Aww, thanks. It has taken MANY years for me to get to this place mentally. Maybe the timing of my surgery and the work I have done in OA have worked out well.You have a humility about you that is wonderful not to mention a great attitude :). All the best to you my friend on your journey. Bless you too :)
