Update on life
Aug 18, 2007
I haven't really posted to my profile since OH updated their format, but I read the forums almost every day and follow up on other people and their stories and progress.
As for me, I recently hit my goal and am a few pounds under it. I feel wonderful, I love buying clothes (maybe a little too much!), but I still struggle with eating right and not overeating, even though overeating is minimal compared to pre-surgery.
I had dinner with a co-worker this week and he asked me if I felt successful with my weight loss. I told him that I would feel successful in 5 years when I maintain the weight loss. I don't want to seem defeatist because I feel instead of looking at it from 5 years out, I have to truly take it one day at a time, one struggle at a time in order to maintain.
I just flew for the first time since my WLS and I did not need an extender. I knew I wouldn't need one, but just putting that belt on was heavenly because of all it represented to me.
I will try and update more often, but that's famous last words sometimes!
