Welcome to TWODERVILLE!

After a two week stall, the scale finally moved again, and I broke through to the 200s!!!!
I'm in TWOERVILLE!!!!  WOOHOO!! CELEBRATE, CELEBRATE!!! 
I can't tell you how happy this makes me!! I haven't been in the 200s in years and years!!  I've been sitting on the verge at 301 for the past two weeks and it was soooooooooooo frustrating to be that close!  Today, I can feel almost normal again! in my mind, weight in the 400s, extremely not normal, in the 300s, not normal, but if you weigh in the 200s, closer to normal!  now my goal is to get to Onederland!
As you can see by my ticker, I started this journey five months ago, and 404lbs.  I feel like I skipped right on by the 300s at a lovely pace.  Now the real work begins as I go for the gold and get down to the 100s.  My goal weight is only to around 180.  for me, I appear very skinny at that weight.  I shall see and maybe readjust when that day comes.
For the newbies...RUN as fast as you can to the nearest surgeon.  It is so worth the hard work and journey you put in.  I feel better and Im healthier than I have been in most of my life.  I like how my life is what I call, on a downward spiral.  before, I was always gaining and going up with my weight..now, it is down, down, down.  How great is that? it feels wonderful, like I have accomplished climbing mount everest!!  I'm a loser, and I LOVE IT!

oh yeah, how I got the scale to move after the long stall...combination of lots of moving, we went shopping most of the day, and I really didnt have time to eat much all day.  I had half a packet of oatmeal with real blueberries on it (cant' eat a whole packet) plus my usual cup of coffee for breakfast, then around 1pm, I ate a protein bar,  still not hungry....we went out shopping around 3:30pm.  About 6pm, I started to feel really tired and realized that I had not eating much all day nor drank enough fluids, so we stopped at a fast food place! OMG!!  now, I am not a fast food person.  never have been.  we always ate at sit down restaurants for chinese or mexican when we went out.. never hamburgers and fries.  but this shopping center had Wendy's sitting right there, so we stopped in.
Newbies, here is what I ate...  small chili, only ate half of it, and five piece chicken nuggets, I only ate 3 of the five.  nothing to drink.  I was full, satisfied and ready to shop more!  My hubby ate a double burger, a chicken sandwich, two small fries, and coffee.  I wasn't even tempted to eat the burgers or fries.  They just dont appeal to me anymore.  Ok, I admit, I really wanted a frostie, but I couldn't fit it in, so I passed. 
Im amazed at how I've changed in my food choices.  the other night, I had about one ounce of califlower, one ounce of squash, one ounce of mixed veggies, and half of a bratworst.  (no bun) I was totally wanting more squash! I never thought I would crave the good foods instead of like prior to surgery I would have wanted potatoes, fries or something real carby with my brat.  I just love to eat foods that dont feel heavy in my tummy more than the "lead belly" foods.  Amazing to me.
