A new milestone

I measure in Kilograms so for Americans this maybe not too important BUT for me it is

I hopped onto the scales this morning to find that I had broken thru the 100 Kilogram (220lb) barrier and my weight now stands at 98.5 kg (217 lbs)

This is my lowest weight since 2002 and I am on target to break 90 kgs (198lbs) by the time I attend my niece's wedding on 13 March (give or take a kilo)

If I can do that would be an amazing 30 kg (66 lbs) since 1 November when I started my pre-op diet

I have only had 1 fill of 2 cc's and feel enough restriction so far.

I'm never hungry and have to remind myself to eat most times. My housekeeper is frustrated that she never has to cook for me now and the household food bill is halved.

My wonderful partner Didin is so supportive attending the gym with me every morning at 6am - sometimes forcing me out of bed when I just want that extra 30 minutes sleep and measuring my food carefully for calorie content and serving size.

I call Didin my external lapband

Last nite for the first time since the end of October I had some fried food - chicken nuggets and fries - and it tasted AWFUL to me. Seems like I have lost the taste for fast fried food.

Last weekend at a friend's birthday party I turned down black forest cake (used to be my favorite). I haven' t felt like a soda for months and am quite happy drinking lemon tea or coconut Water

I know these things are not because of the band but because I can see success ahead of me and I LIKE IT

Good luck to all on the journey to a new and happier, healthier and slimmer you

Congratulations! Wish I'd lost my taste for Black Forest cake (or any sweets for that matter).
