6 pounds to go!

May 27, 2010

I can not believe this amazing journey that I have been on for almost 8 months now (since surgery).  I could never have dreamed I would be where I am today.  My life has completely changed - inside and out.  I have more energy that I ever thought possible, more confidence and am definitely the happiest I have ever been with myself.

I have 6 pounds to go to get to my "final" goal weight of 130.  I think that is reasonable.  My original goal was 130 - 135 and I weigh 136 right now.  I have decided to go for 130 for several reasons.  1) I think I still have some I need to lose.  Still carrying some fat around that I am not happy about.  But I know that if I build up some more muscle, that will help.  2) If I reach 130, I can say I lost more than I weigh.  Maybe that's a small thing, but it's just a good goal for me.  Maybe that will be incentive for me to stay there.  3) That weight will put me right into the middle of the "healthy" BMI range.  Not top, not bottom - but right in the middle.  I think that's a good place to be.

I met a man.  A wonderful man.  The kind that makes me happy and likes me for who I am.  It's still new, but I have a feeling he will be around for a while.  It's an amazing feeling.  I can't imagine my life being any different than it is now.  It's amazing.

Love my RNY!
