New Year... new me....and a new milestone!

Jan 16, 2013

Every year i have sat down and said, this will be the year I lose weight.  Last year I said it and meant it.  And on 3/20/2012 I changed my life forever.  Surgery day wasn't a new birth for me, it was the day I took control of MY LIFE.  I can not lie and say I never had days that I questioned my decision.  Whether it was as I stood over the toilet in my bathroom bringing up whatever I had just eaten that my pouch didn't like, or the times where I had that one bite too much and felt like I was dying for HOURS later, it has all been worth it.

Today, January 16th I hit a milestone.  Last night I got on the scale just for the fun of it and saw 200.8 . Now as we all know, we always way more at night so I knew I had to step on the scale the next morning to see what me "real" weight was.  So there I was, 6:45am, undressed and ready for my moment of truth.  And there it was.... 197.6!!  What?!?!?!??! So what do we all do when we don't believe the number, you step off, let the scale go off, and step back on again... and what did it say the second time? 197.6.. I showered and you guessed it, stepped back on again... 197.6!!!  You couldn't tell me nothing!!!  I've been on such a high today that I haven't eaten all day SMH!  I don't remember ever being below 216, let alone being below 200.  I am so excited!!! I can actually say that I have achieved a weight that I am happy with.  I am large framed so this weight is perfect for me, if I lose more it's okay, but if I don't I am so fine with it!!!

So that's my update.  I just really needed to share my joy with my OH fam.  To all of you in the same stage of the journey as me.. this summer is going to be HOTTTTTTT!!!

Love you all!!!
