3 Lbs To Onederland, Newly Single, And Ready To Start A New Year!

Hello,

I had lap band surgery in August 2010 and have come here a lot to read other posts, but never really posted my own post. I am now 70 lbs. down, and three pounds away from Onederland! Overall I would say I have about 25 more to lose. I started in a size 20/22 pants and am now wearing a 14 going into a 12. I am newly single after dating someone during most of my weight loss... I haven't dated in over 50 lbs.! All these changes are wonderful, exciting, and SCARY! After a recent fill and unfill, I am struggling with horrible reflux. I feel good otherwise, but am sometimes not even sure how I feel about my new body and the reactions of others. I definitely can use some support as I prepare to hit Onederland and start considering dating again after all this weight loss.

Congrats on all your success. I am within 7 lbs of one-derland and I'm so excited. I think that dating again with all that weight gone will give you lots of options. Let's face it, size matters when it comes to the dating world. Good luck! Enjoy your success and all the possibilities!
