Once a month I go buy this bag of dog food for my fur babies. It's heavy for me to handle and I always struggle with it a little bit. It is a 30 pound bag of dog food. That is how much weight I've lost so far.

I can't believe I was carrying that around on my body. And to think I need to lose about 3 more of those. Wow.

LapBand. Best. Decision. Ever.

That puts it into perspective doesn't it?

It does put it into perspective, and when anyone says "I've only lost 20 pounds", I say.....go pick up a 20 bag of dog food. Hard to believe that we carry so much extra on our bodies. No WONDER all the health issues! It's been a long haul, but I'm glad to say that I've got about another 10 pound bag to go

Wow - that is definitely a good reminder. I've lost 26 lbs and just bought dog food today as well. Congrats on the weight loss so far and I know you'll lose many more .

That's an amazing way to look at it! Fantastic job on your loss!!! Keep it up!

Great comparison....you are right....sometimes we dont realize how much our bodies carry because we have become so accustomed to it...i often think of carrying 15 5 pound bags of potatoes home at once...its crazy!!
