Some Thoughts

Just wanted to add a blog. I've been so busy lately...lots of traveling while school is out. It's hard to believe that I only have 2 more weeks off before preplanning begins.

My weight loss has been astounding to me...it is literally just falling off of me. I look at myself in the mirror and can't believe the changes that I see. My relationship with food has changed so much (a little frustrating at times)...i now eat to live instead of live to eat. I still struggle with not eating the volume of food that I once did, but that is just a mental struggle; it's certainly not because I'm hungry.

I looked through my closet today and thought that I have nothing to wear to work. I've resisted buying clothes because my weight has changed so much, but I know that I will have to go shopping before school begins. Part of me is excited about it and the other part of me dreads it terribly. There seems to be nothing like going shopping to snap you back to reality when it comes to your size.

I actually took a picture of the scale this morning when I stood on it; it is right at 201 pounds...just two pounds away from onederland!!!! Holy cow!!! I haven't seen that number in 20 years; it is unbelievable to me.

I have a dr appt on Wednesday...don't think I'll need a fill this month...still feel very tight. Can't wait to see the weight loss this month.

Congrats on your success! I'm 11 days post op and also off for the summer. I go back August 1, and have lost 25 lbs from my heaviest. Isn't it funny how much different you feel when you hit "onederland"? I just had my stitches removed and weighed in at 203. I'm so ready for onederland!! My treat for getting under 200 will be a shellac mani/pedi, just in time for school to begin. Good luck on your continuing success!
