 i think it just brings back memories from 20 years ago and the more i weighed, the worse the memories are.  it's so nice to not be counting down the minutes until i can eat again.  now i'm eating to live, not living to eat.  such a huge difference.

 it'll be here before you know it and then please let me know how excited you were when you see that number!  

he is an amazing man and has never known me at this weight.  i'm excited to be proud of standing next to him instead of ashamed what people are thinking of me.

You are doing an awesome job! It is ok to cry over achievements. Alot better than crying over being depressed.

I am so happy for you! This is great. After nearly five months out what does your Doctor think causes these times of fatigue you experience? I know the first couple of months this is suppossed to happen but, then aren't we suppossed to start experiencing more energy? Sorry, I always borrow trouble...LOL I get worried about everything. Well I wish you the best Onederland is awesome news!

 lol, i always look for the "why and what if's" also. i see my surgeon in march for my 6 month.  my labs are good, potassium is a bit low which could be it.  i'll ask him about it then.  my pcp says everything is good.  i see her monthly.  
thanks so much!

Congrats... I cried when I read this since I know exactly how you feel. I was at 312 at my highest and never wanted to go out in public . I was alway thinking that everyone was talking about "look at that hugely fat lady" I am no where near where I want to be but I am very happy in my new body and I can't wait ubtil I hit ONEDERLAND myself. 6 lbs to go! good luck on your continued journey. It was definately worth it!
