6 weeks out

Dec 16, 2010

I am happy.  I have almost reached my 1st goal, weighing less than 200lbs.  I haven't been under that in 12 years, maybe more.  It is hard to believe that I have spent over a decade over 200 and here I am about to break away from that forever.  I have done well so far.  No complications.  My struggle is drinking enough water.  And sometimes I may not eat quite enough food.  I have a check-up tomorrow so hopefully the doctor say everything is good.  I have lost 31 lbs so far.  I noticed in just the last week or so that my weight loss has slowed down.  But I am okay with that.  Here is a break down by week.

Surgery - 233
2 weeks - 15lbs 218
3 weeks - 6 lbs 212
4 weeks - 4 lbs 208
5 weeks - 3 lbs 205
6 weeks - 3 lbs 202

One of the cool things I have noticed is that I can feel my bones again.  First it was my collar bones, then me rids and hip bone.  Just this week I can really see and feel my jaw bone.  I took my profile pic. this week and I couldn't believe it was me.  I see myself in the mirror everyday but to see the change in a picture was an eye opener.  My sister looked at it and cried.  I just feel like I have cleared one of those hurdles.  My husband showed the picture around work and everyone said how nice I looked.  His comment to me was " I have always thought you were hot, but it is nice to know other see you like that too."  In my head I am the biggest girl in the room still, but this photo is making realize that that isn't really true anymore.  I guess it is going to take my head some time to caught up with my body.
