I don't know if this is the right place for this. But I'm just so happy I could cry. Im in the 2 - teens for the first time in 3 years! Im just happy I chose to do this.

Now don't get me wrong; sometimes I think LORD what the heck have I done to myself. Then I see those that are a lot farther out and realize that it gets easier.

I haven't experienced a REAL stall (knock-on-wood). I normally weigh EVERYDAY:scared0: but there are some days (I notice mostly on weekends) that I stay at the same weight for about 24-48 hours or go up and down during that time. I honestly know that if I make it to one-derland I would be ecstatic. I usually low ball myself so that I don't get disappointed, but I don't think I can screw up with this thing.

I was driving along this morning and thinking that I USED TO be thinking about what I was going to EAT all day long... That was the highlight of my day. But I've replaced that concentration on my family and my home and I LOVE IT!:blushing:

I do have to think a little on planning my meals, but I could care less about which movie theater we go to because one doesn't have hot wings!

I NOW realize that my weight was making me a depressed slave and now that I am no longer a slave to it (except for the fact I can't chug a Pepsi *yes I MISS THOSE*)

Congrats!!! I just hit my 180's and I almost cried too. It's been many years since I've been that low in weight. I agree....it's pretty simple rules, and if you follow them (which isn't hard to do) you almost can't screw this up. It's going to continually get better and better. Congrats on your success!!!

Good work girl. Stay away from that fried chicken and you will go far. I understand the thought process, "what am I gonna have to eat today?" It's like a driving force for each day that is no longer even a thought.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
