So today is my one year band-aversary. It was feeling really anticlimatic cause I'm not as far as I'd like to be so I created a collage tracking my progress over the last year. I have lost a total of 113 pounds - 89.2 since my surgery last year. It's odd. I see a huge difference between the first two photos and the other ones, but not really the final four even though it tracks months of progress. Is it just me? Not realizing my body size is the most frustrating part of the weight loss thing. I reached 158.8 this week and am currently unfilled until at least August. I'm guessing the surgeon will leave me unfilled because I've surpassed what his weight loss goal was for me, but who knows.

This Morning

Here's a link to my weight loss collage tracking the last year: http://jessicastenst...m/post/61173768

I shall quote a favourite saying of my mother

If only we could see ourselves as other people see us ... enough said

AMAZING!!!! You have done great. 5/16/12 was my 1 year.....so hard to embrace the "new you" great job

WOW !! You look great !! I'm very inspired !!

Congrats!! You look awesome!!!

Congratulations, well done!!! And so inspirational too.

You look fabulous! Congrats that all of your hard work paid off. I am also sometimes guilty of focusing on what's left (30-40) instead of what I've done (down 91). Every time I catch myself worrying about getting the rest off, I'm trying to think about how far I've come & that I wouldn't trade that for anything.
