I am 9 lbs away from 174. 174 is the lowest number I got down to in my adult life and that is when I had the band. But it didn't happen because of the band. Now with the sleeve things are going great!! But mentally I feel like I will never get lower than the 174 or know what it's like to be a 14 or a 12 or dare I say in a single digit. Last time I was a single digit was 5th grade. I'm ready to be a 14. I'm ready to e a 12. I feel like I have jumped from a 16 all the way to a 24 both ways multiple times in the past 15yrs. I'm ready to leave those numbers behind me for good and feel something different. I just pray and hope it happens.

You've come this far and will continue to go farther....hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

You'll be there before you know it!

It will come. Have faith.

You can do this!! It does feel a bit overwhelming sometimes. But you will make it!
