Its My Bandiversary!

This isn't going to be a huge retrospective on the first year of the rest of my life.

I am 100lbs lighter and I love it.

 

Such is the nature of a tragic perfectionist, that I am focused on my goal. What that means is that this bandiversary I am recommitting myself to achieving my goal of 178lbs.

 

I took this week to begin-again so to speak. I took many steps to gauge where I am in my journey. Here are some:

 

I saw my nutritionist to remind myself of what and how I should eat.

I attended my Dr's WLS orientation to remind myself of how it felt to be hopeful about never being fat again.

I had a complete physical in order to see where I am medically and nutritionally.

I refocused my brain on being thin.

I talked with the only experienced bandster I know in real life to discuss her eating habits, her plastic surgery and how she got her insurance to pay for a full Tummy Tuck.

 

It has been a full week of refocusing on ME and my weight-loss journey. I have had more than a happy bandiversary, I had an honest appraisal of how far I have come and the kick start to where I am going to be. This has been the best year of my life because I finally feel alive.

 

Happy Bandiversary!
