just visiting
So i took a break from this site for a few months because I couldn't stop comparing myself to others who had much better numbers than I have experienced.I've struggled with this since surgery and never felt truly happy with my loss. I came back today because I want to rejoice in my success and not be so hard on myself, This is my journey, and I am happy with that. This surgery was the biggest blessing that I could have ever wanted. It has changed my life- I eat to live now not live to eat. I have energy to play with my son, I don't cringe when I pass a mirror and I never miss an opportunity to have my picture taken now. I refuse to let myself get caught up in the numbers game anymore and I am much happier since I let that go.
This is me about @ years before surgery- probably somewhere around 260lbs- second picture was last month I was 150lbs.

preop: -21lbs, month 1: -28lbs, month 2: -16lbs, month 3: -18lbs, month 4: -11lbs,
month 5: -11lbs, month 6: -7lbs, ...all the way down. NOTE: after slacking I got back on track in Nov (month 12) and have lost 16lbs so far!
I know I hear you on the comparing issue! Even though I'm totally happy with my progress, and I know I have been staying on my program, and I am steadily losing weight... I think it is just part of being human for a lot of us.
You really do look great. I'm glad you have come to terms and are in rejoice mode!!!
