In Onederland For The First Time In 30 Years!



Recommended Posts

I wanted to say it here. Over 30 years ago I graduated from High School. I weighed 199lbs. That was the last time I saw the 100's.

Until today. I stepped on the scale and there it was....199 lbs.

I cried....tears of happiness, and relief, because that damn scale messed with me for days at 200lbs. and some odd ounces. LOL

I just really wanted to share this with everyone. Even if nobody responds. I'm so amazed at what I have done, so far.

My progress pictures are in my gallery.

146 lbs gone.

49 to go!

That's awesome, I can't wait to get there myself. [emoji4] I haven't been under 200 since about 7th grade so I can totally relate.

Thanks everyone! That was so nice you took a moment to congratulate me! Feels so good!!

I don't even remember being at what I set my goal weight. (150) The smallest I remember is 179 in 7th grade.

I'm probably looking at my 5th grade weight! lol I actually want to lose more, as I'm really short. My surgeon wasn't having it. He said he never wants to see me below 125.

The BMI chart he referred to, to show me how big I was, is the same one I am looking at that is telling me that I should weigh between 113-120 lbs. *shrugs*

I know this, ...something I never ever realized before, I was meant to be tiny. You should see my wrists! I had no idea.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
