In control, maybe for the first time ever!

By lovinlife4eva

My last blog was a total rant about the 260's and how I hated them. Well, I still hate them because of how stubborn they were, but I am proud to say they are GONE!!! Infact the 250's will be gone soon also:biggrin:. Look out 240's, I killed your older brothers and in 2 lbs I am comin for you!!! haha(evil laughter!)haha.

 

I am 27 and for the first time in my life I feel in control. I still have temptation and still give in once in a while, but all in all I am in CONTROL. I am able to say with confidence that I will get out of the 250's and then I will get out of the 240's and on and on. This is not a diet where I am holding my breath until I fall off the wagon. I am consistantly losing weight and have been for nearly 4 months now. Yes, it was slow at first, and yes I got discourged, but wow I stuck with it!!

I cant believe this is really me, losing weight and in control. For so long it just felt impossible, and now it is reality. WOW :thumbup:

    I know exactly how you feel. I am 8 weeks out and I just can't get that .2 to go down so that I have officially lost 30 lbs. I might walk a little more tonight. Anything....just to get rid of it. You are doing great and I know exactly how you feel! :)

    Yaaa for you and keep up the excellent work with your band. It does come off slow and sometimes so slow it seems like a crawl. I was also in the 260's over a year ago and I now weigh 147. Yup, lost over 100 pounds and I have never been so happy in my life. ;-) Size 10 in most clothes. I love to shop now and I am poor because I buy everything that I love because everything fits now. Best wishes and enjoy your journey. imaluckydog

    HI GUYS!

    I STILL HAVE SOME QUESTIONS BEFORE I MAKE THE BIG DECISION:

    ARE WE DOOMED TO REGAIN THE WEIGHT (OR A PART OF THE WEIGHT) THAT WE LOST IN THE FIRST YEARS?

    WHY?

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERIENCE AND HELP.
