2 Month Follow-Up

Jan 03, 2013

I was going to stop coming to obesity help because no one seems to pay attention to my profile anyways.  After getting on the scale this morning and looking in the mirror, I was a little disappointed in myself, not in the DS.  I prayed for the DS, I fought for it, and I got it!  The DS has amazingly helped me lose 77 pounds in 2 months.  I'm disappointed in myself because after losing 77 pounds I'm still super morbidly obese and really don't look like I lost anything.  Sure my clothes are fitting super loose/baggy, but I can still wear them.  How could I have ever let myself get this huge in the first place.  Shame on me! 

I logged into my profile today to take a look, and I began to feel a little better.  I read my first post and my second and realize how grateful I should be for even being where I am.  There are many people who are dealing with obesity but don't have the financial means or mental strength to do anything about it.  So I will continue to write on this page for myself.  I need to be able to look back and see my progress so I can appreciate where I currently am a little better.

So yeah, 2 months out from surgery and down 77 pounds.  I can't lie and say I'm happy at this point, but I'm making progress.  Me not being happy with the way I look has opened my eyes to how shallow I am concerning myself.
