Hello all,

Well my body has finally realized that something is different now. There were a few weeks where it seemed like I was going to lose so slowly. My body has finally accepted that something is different with how I eat and I am dropping weight more quickly. I do my official weigh-ins on mondays but I'm not gonna lie, I weigh myself throughout the week as well. Maybe one day I will no longer be a slave to the scale. We'll see. I put on a tshirt yesterday that is usually a little snug and when I looked in the mirror yesterday I was like hey, its not sticking to my tummy, its actually a little loose. I am so excited and happy. My weight was becoming an issue in my marriage because my husband new how unhappy I was weighing so much and now he senses that i'm happy so its a lot less stress. Thank you everyone for all of your continued support.

I'm glad things are better for you and the hubby, that's great. Did you lose all that weight in 5 weeks? :thumbup: That's seriously amazing. WTG.

WOW! I have found 3 ways to measure my success - the scale, measurements, and the way my clothes look. I too weigh everyday since I track it to see patterns. But, I try not to lose heart and little ups and downs since I have other things to measure against.

Last night, I tried on a new pair of shorts I bought. I could not believe the thin woman looking back at me in the mirror. It was like seeing me in high school again (well, minus the gray hairs and the facial wrinkles LOL). WOW! What a great feeling. I'm sure you were the same seeing your t-shirt being lose. Isn't it AWESOME?!?!?!?

      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!

      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!!
