The first 50lbs are officially gone!
I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am about it. In my old life I would have wanted to celebrate with a trip to a Mexican restaurant or eat way too much ice cream. Talk about defeating the purpose! lol But this time I opted for a pedicure.
I feel like I'm changing already, even though I know some can't see it yet. I was needing a hair trim so Monday I decided to just cut it much shorter than I'm used to. I think it turned out well. I'm already very thin on top so this was also in prep for the inevitable thinning from the surgery that will come. (Sorry for the poor quality photo).
I'm excited to see some more pounds come off. I plan on setting up a NON food reward system. Is that silly? lol Anyway, I'm so thankful for this gift of surgery that I was given. :)

Thanks! I'm a "bag lady" myself. Think I'll make that my 100 lbs gone reward!

What a sweet hubby! I think that's a great reward for your goal. Hmmm.....maybe that's what I'll set for my reward for total goal!

Totally not silly! I have rewarded myself with a diamond band for 50 lost, ordered another one for 100 lost (YAY!) and have bought myself many bags and outfits and bought my husband an awesome diamond band for our anniversary/hitting his goal. And we're taking his original ring, having it cut in half and using sapphires and diamonds we've bought on trips and having them set on each half and turning them into earrings for me when I reach my goal.
I am ALL ABOUT having those quasi talisman items to encourage me and remember steps along the journey!
