Proud! - My lbs haven't been doing me any good, but my body sure is different! I had this amazing moment last week! My therapist told me my fave shirt was ridiculously big and I needed to b...

Moving along - The scale still isn't friendly, but my body is definitely changing. I had an "AH HA!" moment on Monday. I was meeting a friend for coffee and I saw my reflection in the window. My ...

At a plateau...again - So I feel relatively good, but the scale is just not moving. Not that I'm exercising as much as I should, but I have my moments of crazy movement or taking a class. I think I'm los...

Special Moment - I took this picture with my blackberry before a night out at the theater to see Wicked. It was a random picture...a quick one. Yet, when I look at it, it gives me a profound fe...

Another big step! - I am thrilled to say I had another fill yesterday...thank goodness because I definitely hit a wall. But my big news was what I did Saturday. I sucked it up and took my first body p...

Huge milestone - It is pretty ironic this week. I am bloated bc I'm on my period, but I had such a feel good moment yesterday. My coworker & I went to Lane Bryant during our lunch break and tried o...

Still Struggling - So I am patiently waiting for my July 27th appt. I have been trying to be relatively good, but I have definitely lost some control over myself. I am not eating well a lot of the ti...

A Week Later - So I am 1 week after my 1st fill and I'm not sure how I feel. I still feel like I have barely any restriction, but some moments I'm convinced otherwise. The mornings tend to be rou...

1st Fill Tomorrow! - So I'm super excited about tomorrow! I can't believe its already going to be June 29th! I have this crazy fear that my doc won't be able to find the port for whatever reason. Ok, l...

Confessions from Banster Hell - So I'm officially in bandster hell! I have almost no restriction, I'm on my period, and I feel like a damn hungry hungry hippo! I have vowed lastnight that I will regain control. I...

Hovering - So I am at some sort of plateau. I have some restriction, but not much. I am eating about 6 oz at a time. Is that too much? I have no idea, but I am trying to make the right choice...
