Almost 6-months POST :)

Just a quickie – since I realize it’s been a minute. My life is STILL chaotic, but my weightloss is on track, thank GOD. I can’t believe that come March 21, it will be 6 months since my life changing surgery. I am 73# down, and have lost more than half of what I need to make it to *my* goal. (My PCP wants me down to 160# which is fine – but I know once I get to 175, in MY head, I will be a TOTAL rockstar)

 

I still have my eating issues (like being a perpetual “snacker” – even with healthy stuff), but for the most part, I’m extremely proud of myself. I’ve been spending time between home and The Big Apple, and I must say that the change of scenery has been EXCELLENT for my spirit, in terms of getting up & out & active…thus keeping the pounds coming off.

 

I will say – I STILL can’t “see” the difference in my weight in terms of what I see in the mirror. *shrug* But the pictures don’t lie, eh?

AFTER (well, “now”, at least)

 

In any event – all is going well. Will update more in detail when time permits!

 

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY - HOW Y'ALL DOIN?!?!?!?

Wow, great work, you look good. Don't you enjoy shopping now? I had my surgery on 9/22/10 and have lost 65 lbs. My dr. said to go down to 170. I am trying very hard. I feel like I am very restricted after my last fill. So I am being very careful with chewing and eating slowly. I have had a couple of episodes of being stuck and throwing up and it is not fun. Good luck to you.
