Transformation-in-Process

I was banded in August and have been following along at this site since then. I don't know what my problem was but I read several of your posts before I realized you weren't associated with a musical group but that your name was a reference to the lap band (I'm not usually dense)! Anyway, I wanted to thank you for your posts. I agree with Sandradee0124 . . . they always resonate with me, too.

Your success story is very encouraging to me! I intend to replicate the degree of your success . . . you have a 14-month lead over me but I am following in your footsteps. Thanks for sharing!

It's great that you can keep it all in perspective. After all, one month, in the big picture, is practically a moment in time and not something to beat yourself up over. The great news is that you enjoyed your vacation and the holiday without setting yourself back a few pounds and now you'll get back on track and move forward again. You're doing great and you've set a great example for those of us who follow a few steps behind.

I really relate to your story. As time went by, I became less and less successful at trying to put on a happy face while being miserable about my weight. I'm on my way now to a thinner version of myself and I'm looking forward to happy shopping experiences. I know you'll get there, too!! I wish you much success!
