ONEDERLAND!!!!! Woohoo!!!

[this sucks 557]

Well, it finally happened...the number I've been hoping to see for a very long time.

I stepped on the scale this morning to see the most amazing sight-my weight no longer starts with a "2".

I stepped on the scale, I stepped off, I stepped on, I stepped off-wait, maybe the scale is being blocked by the rug or something, I stepped on again, I stepped off-wait, maybe the battery is dead or something, I stepped back on one more time (just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating or something) and sure enough, the number was still the same! I came downstairs with tears in my eyes to share the news with my husband who has stood strong by me through my WLS journey.

This has been a very slow journey for me with a few detours along the way and I have worked very hard for each and every pound. My three year bandiversary is approaching and I've been working really hard because I wanted to hit my goal of coming off the "obese" category in the height and weight chart.

I'm 2.5 pounds away and I have about three weeks left.

I am not the same person I was when I started my journey. I am a person who exercises. I am a person who speaks her mind-not trying to stay in the background anymore. I am a person who logs her food-honestly and completely. When I look at what this body of mine is capable of doing now versus 3 years ago, I am a very proud woman...

Just had to share today.

Oh I remember the day well... Congrats dear on such a huge accomplishment. I like how you are looking for lots of goals (ie bmi goals etc) and not just scale numbers. It just makes the whole process a continual reward system. Keep up the great work hi 5

Thank you for reminding us that the process can be a slow one....but with mindfulness and keeping our eye on the prize...it can be done! I love this post and I too have been in "Onderland" for several weeks now. It's almost unbelievable for me....but I plan on staying there.....not creeping back again! Congrats!!

Congratulations and welcome to the club!
