GOAL! Finally! I woke up this morning and I was 129.4 and my goal was to see 129 on the scale, so 129.8 would have worked for me. I hit 130 back in January and I floated between 131-134 for the last three months. A week ago today I had my final plastics surgery, which was a posterior lower body lift, inner thigh lift, and auto butt augmentation. The day of surgery I was 133 and I’ve pretty much had no desire to eat anything while being on drugs for a few days and being back in the compression garments (which I swear squish my stomach to the point I can’t eat without barfing). So between whatever skin was removed and whatever weight I lost from not eating terribly much, today I am officially at the goal weight I picked back in September of 2013. Amusingly enough, my goal was always 119 but I thought 129 seemed a little less ridiculous and I would probably never make it there anyway.

Today is a beautiful, warm, sunny day, and I celebrated by putting on my new, size small bikini, my cute size small cover up, and spending all of 20 minutes laying outside by the pool before I got bored. I don’t really see a girl who weighs 129 pounds in the mirror…she has a lot of scars and flaws, but she is infinitely happier than she was 577 days ago when I started my pre-op diet, 1 week before sleeve surgery. It has been exactly 1 year and 7 months to the day when I started my journey and today, I got to where I never imagined I actually would.

577 days ago I was on this site, reading through all of the posts of successful people, and hoping that one day I would get to make three posts- the day I hit a normal BMI, the day I hit 100 pounds lost, and the day I hit my goal. Here’s to the last post of the three posts I hoped that I would one day be making. I'm feeling nostalgic, sniffle.

Thank-you to all of the people who have been kind to me on here- I have enjoyed having this board full of fantastic people to share my experience with.

Excuse me- I am now going to go eat a pan of brownies…Just kidding!!!

Well how fabulous is that! I'm one of those people hoping that in 577 days I'll be admiring my a$$ in the mirror and giving encouragement to the newbies on site. Thanks for staying involved and inspiring us! Congratulations on fighting the good fight, girl!

Brownies? I'M IN!!! Not. April Fool's!
