Wow moment

There comes a moment during your weight loss when it really hits you that YES, I really am doing it. Today was my moment. I had to use a binder clip on my pants to keep them from falling down. I mean I know I am loosing weight, the scale shows it, I feel it, yes I have bought a few smaller sized items, but when something like that happens, it feels AWSOME!!! When i got home I took those pants (size 18/20) off and threw them in the pile with all the other ill fitting clothes. How good does it feel that now I dont have much to wear not because I am too big but because my clothes are too big. The small things are AWSOME! Crossing my legs, bending down to polish my toes, sex is so much better, I could go on and on. Is it still a daily struggle? YES, it will ALWAYS be a daily struggle until I die but man it is worth it. My highest weight was 282 my surgery was 12/30/10 weight was 261, weight now 222. I NEVER thouht I would be able to say that I have lost 60lbs! 60!!! I was always a gainer, my weight got higher and higher as the years went on, I will be 34 soon, I thank God that I was given this tool. I can only think that in 10 years or so I would be so heavy that life as I know it would be so much harder for me and my family. I am so thankful.

Keep up the good work! I was 282 when I started 3 years ago - down to 185 and loving the size 12 jeans. I still go for that extra large size and it was so nice to hear he sales lady tell me that I'm bigger than I think I am. I know I've lost the weight, but my mind still sees that size 22 person. I've been stuck at this weight for a long time, but hey size 12 who would have thought!!!!
