Hey everyone!!  It has been months since I posted an update on here.  I have been such a slacker.  So...what's going on?
Well, my daughter is turning 4 on Saturday.  I cannot believe it!!  Where is the time going?  

My weight is stable.  I am staying between 115-116 pounds.  I still have plenty of restriction and I am doing well.  I do not exercise like I should but to make the common excuse...I seriously have not had any time.  I really really need to find the time and when I do...I will work out more.  I hate it sooooo.  I don't eat as great as I should either.  I am working on this because I know that it will catch up me before I know it.  I have been very LUCKY that I am not gaining.  The thing is...I have good eating days and bad eating days.  My bad eating days just consist of eating a bowl of ice-cream.  Looking back to old posts and that is always my biggest weakness.  I know this.  Food choices aren't that terrible...

I also am still struggling with acid reflux.  I'm taking Prilosec and Tums to control it but it is getting worse.  I don't even want to think of getting the band loosened...so, I am living with it for now.

I am still wearing a size 2 and smalls.  I do have a size 1 pair of jeans that fit pretty darn well.  It is still amazing to me.  I love when ppl tell me, I never even realized that you were "that big".  I guess I have finally reached the point where people don't remember what I used to look like.  I think that is a good thing.  It is now just natural.  No more...OMG you have lost weight...or OMG you are too skinny....  I thought I would miss the praise at some point but I honestly don't.  I'm just coming into my own and now I am just MIMI.  I look and feel like I should.  It feels pretty damn good!!

Am I happy?  I am happy that I have been successful in weight loss.  However, it does not necessarily bring me "happiness".  That has to come from something other than just losing weight.  If you rely on that....it won't work.  Happiness comes from within and I am still working on that!  Good luck to all of you out there...
