So I am almost 9 months out and things are going great!! I am down 114 lbs and I feel so much better!! Sure now things are getting a little bit harder, I mean the urges to eat are starting to come back and I am learning to control them but the good thing is if I eat now I feel so guilty!! That for me is such a new feeling and I know that I am not perfect and sometimes I am going to eat things that I shouldn't but as long as I feel guilty I am not gonna go back to old habits. It just made me realize that this is something that I am going to struggle with my whole life. But, anyway, I don't feel thin yet, I still feel like I am fat and have a long way to go but I know that I made so much progress and I really am enjoying it. I hope posting those pictures will inspire someone like seeing other's pictures inspired me!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way.  Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

We all get a little anxious in the begining. I think I still am anxious all the time to lose it all. But you will get there in no time!
