Almost at my Goal!

May 27, 2010

When I started this journey I had one thing in mind, "Get off the Meds!" Well, within a week after surgery, my doctor took me off of all of them. I have been off ever since. As I traveld this journey, I realized that I really wanted a little more than to just "Get off the Meds." I really want to be healthier all around and  I wanted to feel better. I neer really felt bad - even at my heaviest. I was always active and never "felt" my weight. But now, I feel so much better! I am now within 6 pounds of my first goal - losing 100 pounds. My next goal is to weight 200 pounds. If I reach those two goals, I will be elated! Who would have thought that I would be down 94 pounds in 5 months....

I know that this journey is nowhere near over. It will be a liflong journey. But being so close to my original goal makes me feel great! I can't wait to post that I am down 100 pounds!

I need to spend more time exercising. The flab on my arms is starting to annoy me. I know that the extra skin around my mid section and other places might just be a "part of life" for me, but I hope I can tone my arms a bit. Other than that, I could not be happier. This surgery was the best decision I could have made! Dr. Pupkova keeps telling me what a good job I have done. My response to her is, "If she hadn't given me so much information and inspiration, and didn't perform a perfect surgery, I wouldn't be in  he shape I'm in. I feel blessed to have done the research, made this decision, and to have found the people at Barix Clinic.

Until next time!
