I got there!!
Yay! As of today I have hit my halfway point! I have lost half of my weight! I can't tell you how long it has been since I weighed 227. I have 3 pounds to go to have lost 100 pounds but that won't be far off now and wonderland is on the distant horizon. I have had a lot of dietary challenges along the way and being in a car accident last October has kept me from losing as fast as I would have liked but this has been a great accomplishment and I know I will be able to get the rest off! My reward was a puzzle book and a rotisserie lemon chicken for dinner! Yum! Just had to share my excitement with you all!

Lisa,
CONGRATS to you!! I just crossed the halfway point too!! It feels so amazing! 10 more lbs for me till onederland and I have my eyes on a new tablet. (even thought my head hunger would rather have a red velvet cake!!)
Keep up the GREAT work

That is so awesome, congrats to you too! I am jealous that your so close to wonderland! :) a new tablet sounds like so much fun! A different option to curb your head hunger, Metro mint makes a chocolate min****er that is delicious, it is subtle but tastes like a York peppermint patty, very refreshing. My fave is the spearmin****er, after your done with the first bottle you can refill it over and over with reg water, the mint oil absorbs into the bottle so you can get your mints worth from more then one bottle! Great job and thanks for your response!
Thanks Devon,
You have really been an inspiration to me along the way. I really relate to so many of your posts, your aversion to most vegetables and your love of cookies 
!!!!! I admire your determination and really respect the fact that you convey how hard a journey this is, you allow yourself to be vulnerable in this community and I think that vulnerability really has given me and so many others a strength to know that even if we falter, we don't have to give up, we can just bounce back and start over and move forward. We can fail with grace instead of be ashamed. That has been such a big lesson for me. Thanks so much for always being in my corner!

OMG! You are way too kind. Thank you so much for the kindess you have shown me in return.
You are right in that shame really has no place on this journey. This journey is filled with successes and failures. Our attitudes about both have a great affect on how we continue on the journey. Embracing our truths is paramount. I really believe not accepting my truth is a major reason for my obesity in the first place! VSG has taught me so much about my self and my relationship with food. I will always be grateful for that.
