Celebrating weight loss

Feb 01, 2010

In my life, celebrations have always revolved around eating.  You won something, you eat.  You earned your degree you eat, it's your birthday you eat, anniversaries... family in town... you get the picture.  I don't know how to celebrate without eating.

I wanted a way to celebrate the little milestones with this weight loss and something to remind me of my journey.  So, I started a Pandora charm bracelet.

I got the bracelet with a heart bead that has a pink stone.  The heart represents the gift to myself the surgery represented.  The pink stone is for October, the month where I had my surgery and my new life started.

Every 10 pounds I am going to add a charm. I wear the bracelet most every day as a personal reminder of this journey.

Pink polka dot bead- My first 10 pounds, it happened so quickly I barely noticed it go by

silver purse with pink stone - 20 pounds... I hit 23 within the first 2 weeks but then bounced back to 18 when I actually started eating again... the next 2 took a while, but I got there.

Green dotted bead- 30 pounds and I picked green cause I hit this in December so it's Christmasy, sorta

silver rose- 40 pounds, what girl doesn't like to get roses?  I hit 40 in January 2010... great new year and glad I didn't have to wait until the new year to start this journey
