I am loving 162. Never in my life have I loved 162. I have been at this weight more then ten times in my life, either from gaining or losing. And never have I appreciated this number. I of course want to be 110, but I feel it coming and I am ready to love myself. Never do I want to be over 200lbs, at 4'10 I was a walking heart attack. I love waking up and feeling smaller, I love looking in the mirror, I love going to the gym, I love myself. I thank God everyday that I had this surgery. I would do it again in a heartbeat. And, I love the lifestyle change. Eating clean, every three hours, 70-100oz of water, protein first, feeling full, not being obsessed with food, excersise and the high I get from running....just thought I would share. Thanks to everyone on here that is and continues to be positive forces in my journey.

This post made my night!!! Thanks for sharing!!

That is so exciting. I am and have been slowly making my new habits at 9.5 weeks out, I'm down 40 lbs and I can't wait to come to that love myself point. I am not sure if I will ever get to that point but this gives me hope! I am in a much better place with food now than I ever was before surgery so maybe over time...

Thanks for sharing your positive story.

Glad I inspired a few :-) I just kinda realized that beating myself up only made me feel worse. Appreciating and loving myself is the only way down on the scale. Not to mention my therapist has a big role in my mental status, I have been with her for a year and she is awesome

Congrats and I can def relate! It's a wonderful feeling!

I feel the same way. I was miserable with all the unsuccessful attempts to lose weight. I finally feel like I have control over my life again. Best decision I made!

What a great story. Thanks for the inspiration
