I can't believe it's been a year since my surgery! It really seems like yesterday I was complaining to my husband that it was cruel that they allow a person (let alone a fat, starving one!) go so long without food or water. I was scheduled for a 2pm surgery which was long enough to go without a sip of water but for whatever reason, they did not take me to the OR until almost 5:30. I woke up and was never that hungry again!

I started at 218 and was down to a lowest of 119 but today I'm 122. I've been bouncing between 119 and 123 for a couple of months. I've been eating junk I shouldn't and I'm one of those with a million excuses but I'm trying to stop. I just did a purge of the pantry yesterday so there is not really anything that should tempt me so I'm hoping to stay on plan today (so far so good!) and for lots of days after. It's very easy to fall back into all the bad habits so I really have to work on my head.

For a year, I have tried to post pictures but no matter what I try, it just doesn't work for me so there must be something wrong w/ my computer. I just uploaded a new picture onto my profile so feel free to check it and all the rest out!
