One Year Ago...

May 02, 2009

One year ago I weighed 337 pounds. Today, I'm 194. I really can't believe what RNY has helped me achieve. Aside from smaller clothes, more self esteem, pride in myself, control over food (most times! lol) I just feel absolutely wonderful. I don't really have that much else to say. I have had some moments with eating things I shouldn't and I'm really not a dumper for the most part so it's even more difficult to resist temptation, but I have my tool which doesn't make it easy, but makes it possible. Before RNY I literally could not do it. I could not resist the hunger in the pit of my stomach, the cravings, the desire to overindulge, I just couldn't say no. After RNY, all of the temptations are still there, and if sometimes I do cave in. But it's different now, I know how good it feels to be where I am, I know how much work it took to get here and I realize that overinduldging will get me right back where I started - and that's the last thing I want. 

As for a goal, I guess I can say 150 confidently now. When I weighed 337 and was told that was my ideal weight, I thought that it would be absiolutely impossible to get there. Now, 44 pounds away - it's possible, if not probable that I will see that number on the scale eventually. 

As for my monthly goal, I'd like to update you a month from now weighing in at 185. I know I can do it!!

I added a before and after pic to my photos  I still have a ways to go, but I'm getting there!
