Needed a boost

After my pathetic loss at my doctors appointment last week, I have been feeling really disappointed. I have been good about not cheating since then but I am constantly thinking about that stupid scale and only 4 pounds!!

I needed to give myself some positivity. I did my measurements when I was 6 days post op.I have been recording my measurements randomly about once a month. I never went back and compared them. Well, i needed a boost so here it is:

Bust -5 inches

Belly -10.5 inches

Hips -9 inches

Thighs -4 inches each

Arms -2 inches each

In 4 months I have decreased myself by 53 inches!!

That gave me a nice boost but also made me realize just how far I had let myself go.

Am I really just being too hard on myself?? Expecting too much??

One thing this Band New Life is teaching me is patience. I was never one to have much of it. It will happen if we keep at it!

Good luck!
