I have decided to face the truth about my weight

I have come to a decision and I can't say I'm not nervous about it but I have decided I have to do it....I have to not be ashamed to admit my weight! I have gone to TickerFactory so many times and made my ticker only to look at it and be ashamed that it shows either what I weigh or what I weighed when I was banded but no more! I went to our health clinic to check my weight the other day since I hadn't weighed since my last fill in July and to my great pleasure I have lost 87 pounds since my surgery a little over 3 months ago! I couldn't wait to get back to my office to tell everyone what I had just found out when it hit me......I was ashamed to tell people that I had lost 87 pounds and I am still as big as I am! I shared this with a good friend of mine and she told me to stop being silly. Well, I've decided to take her advice and stop being silly and what better place than to do it here! I hope maybe someone can see that this certainly works for people of all sizes, even someone with a high starting weight like mine. So folks, thanks for letting me share and now I proudly, if not hesitantly, present my new signature with my ever decreasing ticker!
