10/12/08 ***PERSONAL GOAL ACHIEVED***

Oct 13, 2008

It's hard to believe....here it is a month away from being 1 yr out and I have reached what I said would be my "ultimate" goal! I never thought it would take less than a year though!!! I know Dr. Glass said i would loose about 75%...or be around 150lbs. I reached that at my 6 month check up just about. I told him I only had 25 lbs to go....that that was my personal goal...which he said was attainable but I would have to work for it. Guess what....I just followed my same program the way I have been and here I am!!!
OMG....I weigh 125lbs!! I have lost 104lbs in just 11 months! Who would have thunk it!! It's so strange....I sit with my family and they are always commenting on something...I sat in my daughters lap the other day and she thought it was so cool that I was so light weight and that she could put her arms around me with ease...but now she says I have a "boney" butt!!
My husband is always "tapping" on my hips or sides or following my rib cage....it feels so strange BUT good...I always seem to chuckle about it!
The best part is I feel so healthy! I walk with ease....I can run, I can fly up the flight of stairs at my office and not think twice....I don't run out of breathe anymore....this surgery gift keeps me smoke free....I quit over a year ago and that makes all the difference to me....I just feel like I got another chance at life....a whole new person...I JUST TOTALLY LOVE THIS!!!
Yes....I still think sometimes that I'm going to "wake" up or that I might end up re-gaining....but it's ok...it keeps me in focus. I know I'm not dreaming....lol...but we all fear that it's to good to be true I think....but I just don't let the thought of it get the best of me...I work at this too...I deserve this.
AMEN....that helps too!!
