6 Months , how things have changed

Apr 21, 2009

Today I am 6 months our from surgery.  What milestones have I reached?

1. I can cross my legs easily, and keep them crossed
2. I have energy
3. I feel confident when I am in a crowd
4. I am comfortable in somthing that does not go all the way to my ankles
5. I went from a 18W to a Size 10!!!!
6. I can go out to dinner and enjoy myelsf without gorging myself
7. I took a family picture for the first time in almost 5 years!

I am so happy with my loss to date and am down 59.5 lbs and know that the future is evcern brighter than I can imagine.  I hope to reach my goal by my one year anniversary and with less than 30 lbs to go I think that will be easy.  My weight loss has become a little more eratic this month but that is OK.  As long as I lose an average of 5 lbs a month I will be able to dance the victory dance.

For you newbies out there.  Dont stress that you are losing slower than you want.  As long as you work your tool you will get there.  Those of you considering the surgery, GO FOR IT.  it is the best present you can give yourself and your family.
