I told myself that at every 50lbs lost I'm getting a tattoo. 12lbs left to go, already have it designed, just need to come up with the money and someplace to get it done. My husband said he'll buy the next one. I can hardly wait. :)

As a behavioralist I have a hard time incentivizing myself since I know pragmatically I'm always in control.

I do get a nice sense of celebration when I can fit in smaller clothes or even find something in a store to wear versus having to mail order everything.

I have been contemplating a tattoo though since the permanence removes my control of the reward long term.

Buy yourself something special. I know some banders have bought themselves a charm bracelet... pandora type, and buy a new charm to Celebrate. Anything that means something to you will work... except food! LOL!

I'm going to buy me something special at 30lbs.

I went to the dr this morning and basically all he had was praise and told me that I should be very proud because w/o a fill I have lost 26lbs. He even said I'm probably in my green zone. He said about 2-3% of his patients do this good w/o a fill. Just a select few. Gosh I was on cloud 9. I'll keep up the good work for sure!!!

      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!!
