 I have been in a spot the last few months, the scale continues to go up however the clothes and waist size have remained the same.
 I think that means I am done with this ride and it only got me to a Moderately obese person I was good at the lowest of 159 but then I had to go and start creating a shape, I started by having a brest reduction and light weight training to tone arms so I could avoid the scars there.
I know this is a process and that i just need to stick to it but i am getting flustered... now I am at the point i dont want to finish with the skin removal process.

grrrrrr is all i can say.

 I have been at a weird part of this journey.

 I am 1 year and 4 days out, I have lost about 163 pounds.

I can't belive that it has been a year already so much has changed and stayed the same.

My friends say that since I have have lost all this weight my personalty has changed.

Although I still dont believe that all that much has changed for me.

Yes I can wear smaller clothes and have become one of  those girls that guys feel are out of reach.

I am currently looking in to plastic surgery, hoping that maybe after the new year I can clean off all that remains from  my past.

I know that they say you should not look in to having plastic surgery until you have been at a stable weight for a while however, the skin on my tummy and arms is really gross looking and i just really want this.

I guess that everyone goes through changes, with mine I want them NOW!!!!

Ok, so I thought I was going to date this guy, and he pulled the same thing all guys have done to me.
so men out the window....


Now my scale wont move!!!
5 pounds in 1 month, what did I do or not do for that???
I know everyone I work with say I have lost all I should other wise I'll blow away. However I know there is more to go...
Now if thats 5 or 35 it is going to come off.

I know that when I had this surgery, I said I wasn't going to get involved with any guys this 1st year.

And I am 9 months out and down a 151pounds. 

 But i met this guy and I am not sure i want to share any of this with him, but I want to say something just in case he ever sees me without clothes on.
But how do you tell someone, should you, does it really matter?

 To every WLS person be weary of the sun. I can tell you that when you burn the extra skin that is hanging on your body it hurts so much more than anywhere else, because the heat stays trapped in the folds of lose skin.

I was hanging out for the first time in a while by the pool, in my small swim suit ( 1st time out in years) 
and lost track of time, I did have on sunscreen but it did almost nothing for me.

This was the worst burn I have had in years. Oh course it helps that I was not one for the pool when I was larger!! 

But  on the Bright side the skin that peels off is less skin you have to have surgically removed :) 

Who would have thought 6 months after my surgery I  am down 121 pounds!!!
And get this next saturday I will be walking for the March of Dimes 5 miles. I know I can do it and cant really wait but the killer of this whole thing is I am actually wearing a size 14/16.

WOW,  I have been on a diet everyday since high school and even before, but I never would have guessed I would be down 84 pounds in less than 4 months.
Even if I don't lose another pound this was totally worth it.

Oh, ha ha I am hosting a shape ware party March 8th at 2pm and the thing that shocks me the most is that allot of people dint know what shape ware is. HOW can this be? i am 24 about to turn 25 and I have known my whole life what shape ware is.
OK, let me explain. If you don't like the way your butt looks or your boobs need a perk without surgery shape ware contours your body to look better.
I hope that helps.

 Wow! I cant belive the scale at first I thought I had broken it again.

It's been a long time since I have weighed under 250 pounds. I am in shock, but the one thing I dont understand is how am I still wearing the same clothes I have had since before my surgery.

 I cant let that get me down not this time I will get down to an 18 before the wedding.

 I broke down and got a scale finally, although I still have issues with it in my house. I know it sounds like I am taking everything out on the scale and it didnt do anything but tell the truth, but I want the surprise of maybe stepping up once a month and having dropped 20 pounds. 
 weekly weight ins scare me... what if I gain it all back? what if I still dont like what I see and get discouraged. I dont want to fail this time.
