A new year and nearly 10 months post-op!

Dec 29, 2008

As the new year is upon us, I am taking some time to reflect on this wild ride I started on last March.  When I began this journey I weighed 261 pounds.  This morning I stepped on the scale, (fully clothed) and weighed 199!  My weight loss has been slow compared to some others, but I think that I has been just right for me.

This time last year, I was depressed and hating life.  I hated shopping for clothes, and I never wanted to go out.  One year later, the new year feels full of possibilities.  I still have 49 pounds to lose before I reach my goal, but from where I stand now, that goal is obtainable.  I might not get there before my bandiversary, but  I will get there before my 2nd one! 

It feels good to wear "Normal" sized clothes.  and even though that normal size is an XL, I am very proud of that accomplishment.  The pictures from this years holidays compared to last years are remarkable.  I can finally see a difference.

I am so grateful for my band and for my new lease on life.

Here's to the new year and the new me!
