Long overdue update
Jan 14, 2009
Well, I am way overdue for an update, so here it is. All continues to go well, but ever so slowly now. I am only losing in the 5 pounds per month range, but it remains steady and I am feeling great. I am about ten months out from surgery, nearly one year since the pre-op diet began and have lost 180 pounds. Needless to say, I am very happy about that. I believe that I have successfully formed the eating habits I need to avoid any significant rebound whenever I finish losing and will monitor closely to make sure it doesn't sneak up on me. That said, I still want to lose another 60 pounds this year and then evaluate whether losing some more weight is a reasonable objective. I still want to lose all I can, but having started at such a high level, I know that ever raching a BMI of 22 "ain't real likely". That said, I don't want to put any unnecessary limitations on what is possible either. So, I will just take it a step at a time now and start enjoying the new life even more. I really don't feel any limitations anymore due to body size and fitness, so every additional pound lost is really kind of a bonus and progress towards long-term better health. It's been a great ride so far, with good weght loss progress, valued new friendships and great hope for the future. I am very thankful for this opportunity and plan to make the most of it.
