YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Feb 10, 2011

Went for my first post-op checkup today. I finally got to meet Dr. V, lol, and she was super nice. I went into the office knowing I lost, and being optimistic, but also trying not too be too excited. I was sure I had lost at least another 2-3lbs or so since surgery.

When they put me on the scale, it started off reading 295, which made me smile. About what I had thoughts. But, it kept going down. 291, 290, 289, 288...... 288!!! Holy crap! That's 22lbs since December, and 10lbs since surgery. of course, being me, I immediately teared up. Sharon, the tech was super happy and congratulated me. I just couldn't stop smiling. I must have looked like a grinning fool.

This journey has been so much more than I ever thought it would be. Not only have I gotten in touch with how I can become healthier, but I also it's helped with my self-esteem, my confidence, and my happiness. I've learned I can do whatever I set my mind to. I learned that I don't have to be so self-sacrificing. I've learned to stop feeling sorry for myself so much, and to allow myself mistakes without beating myself up.

I am unbelievably happy right now. I feel so light.. lol!

:D
