Loving my sleeve and my journey!
I was so excited to hit Onderland and now I'm two pounds from being 180 and just 22 pounds to goal! I think I'm going to change my goal of 170 to 160! These last 5 months have been amazing and all of the support that I get from reading everyone's post have made a difference.
I can't believe how I don't think about food like I use too. I now think of it as fuel for my body. I do from time to time have pretezels, popcorn, and even chips. Yes, chips! Once I have a few, I'm good for several weeks and I move on. I don't beat myself up for having them because I'm human and I want to feel normal so this works for me.
I have gone from a size 20 jeans to size 12 and from a 3xl shirt to a medium! Oh and I met a MAN! lol He thought I was 32yrs old and I was proud to tell him that I'm 46! He was shocked in a good way. We will see where it goes. I'm going through a divorce and it should be final in the next 60 days and I spoke to my soon to be ex yesterday and he said that I look great and he's very proud of me. We are good friends dispite the divorce.
So I just wanted to thank everyone that as encouraged me when I was going through this process. Some of you don't even know that your post encourages someone each and everyday!
Happy Friday!

So happy for you in so many ways!
I'm so close to onderland, it's taunting me. But you know... nine months ago, when I began this, I felt like this place was so far away. It worried me... terrified me... that I might not make it. Now, I have... you have... we are ALL doing so amazing!
And good for you on the man front! You go, girl! Rock it! :-)
Like you, I don't beat up on myself if I have something not strictly on point. Because I have a TINY amount in comparison. I've learned you can be satisfied with two bites of something. You don't NEED to eat 1/8 of a pie to enjoy pie. Slow down, enjoy... and you don't feel like you're deprived.
Again... AWESOME for you!
You are doing so great that I had to do a double-take when I looked at when you had your sleeve - it was just back in January! Look at all the positive changes you've made - you've come SO far!
