From a bad dream to a happy reality

[maquillage81 25]

I'm 9 weeks out from my sleeve, and was in the habit of weighing myself every day, until my surgeon told me to stop driving myself crazy and just weigh myself once a week. So I decided to weigh myself every Friday to hopefully have a positive start to the weekend. I weighed in at 263.5 last Friday, but last night I had a dream that I stepped on the scale today and it said 355! In my dream I remember feeling like all the progress I made went down the tubes and that I would never be successful in my weight loss. Even though I knew it was just a dream, I woke up this morning feeling very anxious about weighing myself.

Well, I did get in the scale this morning, and the number read 257.5! That's 41.5 lbs down from my surgery weight of 299 and 56.5 lbs down from my highest of 314 lbs. Not to mention I haven't been in the 250's in about 8 years. I feel completely optimistic and motivated for the progress I'll be making going forward, and so grateful for this tool. As for my nightmare last night, I suppose it's Halloween, and we all deserve a good scare
