  1. 99.8

    · thinathart · 08/08/13 05:51 PM

    This morning I weigh 99.8 pounds less than I did before I started my journey (roughly 1 year ago, with surgery in October 2012). I wasnt' going to post until it was an even 100. But I thought, .2 lbs...really? You're going to let that stop you from celebrating this milestone? No way!
     
    I wish I had this surgery 10 years ago. I feel fabulous, both physically and mentally. I still make mistakes and continue to learn. I'm able to stick to plan 95% of the time.
     
    For those who are riding the fence, I can tell you that this is the BEST thing I have ever done for myself. I know it will be a lifelong journey battling my issues with weight, but I finally feel like it's a fair fight.

  2. Reclaiming My Health

    · thinathart · 08/10/12 04:16 PM

    As of today I weigh 125lb more than I did 22 years ago. On average, that's 5 lbs a year. Unfortunately for me, I gained about 75 of it my first year in college and I've been on the upward spiral ever since. I'm guessing I've gained and lost several hundred pounds in those 22 years...always seeming to have that highest weight number increase.
     
    I think I've been denial about my weight. I never thought I'd be a WLS candidate...but here I am. Ready to reclaim life. I remember when I was healthy, active and confident. I miss that girl.
     
    I hadn't really heard of the sleeve until I had a back injury. My MRI results read something to the effect..."due to the patients size". WTH? I was in denial. How could I not see I am 125 lbs over weight for all this time? I knew I was over weight...but really? 125lbs? How did it get to this?
     
    Regardless of how, I'm taking the steps to get healthy again. I'm 2 months into a 6 month program to learn how to handle the surgery and be successful using the sleeve as a tool.
     
    All of you have really given me insight to myself. Funny how strangers with similar stories can do that.
