God bless my lap band

So as I was rushing to get dressed this morning I looked in the mirror and of course just started mentally listing my complaints. I carry most of my weight in my upper waist so I look like I have a spare tire there. Granted it had gone from a full size truck tire to a small donut looking tire but still I hate it. So as I was putiing my size 18 pants on I tookk a moment to say a quick thank you to god and my surgeon and my friends and family. Back in January when I was still weighing in at 348 pounds I would have traded my left arm to be in an 18 pant and to weigh 266 (this mornings weight)! I'm 5'10 and must say I look so much different than several months ago I'm going to start savoring every weight along the way. I will NEVER be the weight I am right now again in my life because every day I work at going in the right direction, but it took alot of sweat and tears to get here so I am proud of it spare tire and all god bless 266 pounds and dropping! Have a fabulous day everyone Sara! :blush:
