"When we stop running away from the situation that is scary - that is the moment we discover how strong we really are. So, acknowledge your strength...rejoice in it...and start breathing in life, as the beautiful, strong soul (being) that you truly are." - Rachna Sirtaj.......Love & Peace
I'm trying to go through whatever I've got in the house to work myself into before i spend any money. I know it sounds dumb, but I couldn't believe the amount of clothes I had grown out of by my weight gain! Now it's the other way around.
But it's very cool. My thin friends don't get it, but that's okay. At least I have some place I can share!
Trying this again.... For some reason my post didn't go under yours, it went under my original post..... so I am copying and pasting it again here.... Let's see if it works..... LOL
Hey there... you have done an amazing job.... I know the feeling about wanting to lose that last bit, but just think about how much healthier we are. That is what is important here. I KNOW that I could do much more to get that last bit off as well, but I can be pretty lazy at times... LOL, plus I am not willing to give up my evening wine.... ;-) I am sure that last bit would come off if I did. I had been down to goal, but then I quit smoking (after starting up again after 9 years), and of course some of the weight came back on. Now I am working pretty hard to take it back off. However with my recent surgery and my upcoming surgery it is making it difficult to be active at all to get that scale moving back down.
You will get it in check and get things moving again. You seem determined enough, I mean being a single mom to teenagers... OMG, I can't imagine. I did it for a while to toddlers, but if I had not had my hubby with my older two when they were teenagers I can't even imagine where that would have ended up....
Wishing you the best of luck... I am sure you will be an amazing example of how well WLS works....

I live in the Commerce area. I'm 43 and a single mom to teenagers.
Woooo Hoooo!!!! That is a great thing.... I remember those days all too well. Go to your local Salvation Army or Good Will and get some clothes that fit. Don't pay full price for stuff you are gonna be shrinking outta in a few short weeks......
What a great feeling... congrats on the success!!!!

Floppin' around like the little tents they are.
Then at the gym, working with my trainer, I'm doing a set with the dumbells and my t-shirt kept riding up and getting stuck under my boobs every time I raised my arms...again because it was too big.
Totally hot. (not.)
Far cry from not being able to get into something because I expanded out of it!
