Original Goal Met!!!!

Nov 11, 2009

13 months, 21 days days after my DS, I am calling GOAL!!!!!

I woke up this morning and found myself 1 lb below goal. I have said all along that once I attained a normal BMI (100% EWL) that I would reassess my ultimate weight loss goal. I have decided that I want to drop my goal to 130-135 lbs. I am only 5'4" and I think that my small frame can handle the extra weight loss--also, trying to pad the bounce-back and place me between 22.3 and 23.1 BMI.

When I had the DS, I knew without a doubt that my co-morbs would be resolved--they were within a couple of weeks. I wanted to believe that I would be able to lose enough weight to be a "normal" weight person. I remember buying a pair of size 12 jeans and thinking how small they were. I would not allow myself to hope for or believe that I would ever see a size 8.

I sit here today solidly in a size 6. Yes, you read that correctly, a size 6. I am here to tell you that with the DS all things are possible. Don't limit your possibilities before you even begin.

Thank you all for the support and love you have shown me during my pre-op and post-op journeys. You guys are part of the reason that I have been successful. I celebrate my victory over obesity with you.
