I'M NORMAL!

Oh Happy Day!

I got on the scale this morning and she told me that I am now at a normal b.m.i for my height! Yippee!.

7 1/2 months out and still pushing on. Thank you vets for sharing your strategies. I plan on losing a few more to allow for any bounceback but I am feeling bones as it is.

Work your tool and UNDER EAT YOUR SLEEVE!

I always thought of you as normal. I'm glad your BMI has caught up with you. lol

Great job! Your weight loss is very inspirational!

LOL!

I'm kinda odd to be honest

I haven't been a "nornal" weight since 1994.

 Congrats at your accomplishment!  You said something very interesting at the end that I want to comment on, though...under-eat your sleeve.  Now, from a logical standpoint, why would anyone want to cut down MORE than they had already been required to cut down?  I mean, they already cut out 90% of your stomach...isn't that enough?  But you are exactly right!  I've been dealing with a lot of food-related emotions that color my eating habits.  I was always a volume eater...a big plate of food made me happy.  So I found myself pushing my sleeve, wanting to SEE that big portion (even if it was only a heaping 1/2 cup instead of a level one!).  It's all psychological as I'm not hungry, haven't been since the surgery.  So why can't I cut it down to where it should be?  Why am I still feeling deprived when I'm NOT being deprived in any way?  

Thank you for saying that, anyway...it really made me think!  I will try to do that from now on.  

Congrats! Wish i could under eat my sleeve but when i do I'm hungry in 2 hours which means I'm thinking of food all day which i hate.  Good plan if you can do it.

Congrats! What a great job you've done!!

I started out right about when you did. I recently hit normal, too! Doesn't it feel great? I'm still adjusting to the new me, and I don't think my self-concept is as advanced as my BMI. Sometimes I still think of myself as heavy. It's been SO long since I was normal. Maybe 25 years ago. This will take some adjustment!

Woo Hoo!  Congrats!  That's an awesome milestone.  I didn't post when I hit it but I was doing the happy dance that morning!!!  Have a great day and keep undereating that sleeve!  It WORKS!
