Almost 8 weeks out!

Aug 28, 2010

 I got up this morning and got on the scale, not expecting it to move. I've been in a stall for a while now, so I have no expectations as I look down at the number. It's been hovering around 221-222 for quite a while now. When I got up Friday it was at 220.1. It had moved! I was excited, but not overwhelmed. I wanted to be in the 2-teens. I can't remember the last time I saw a number that low. Saturday morning, I got on the scale with slight hope. It was at 218.9. I had to get on it twice to make sure I was reading the right numbers. Was that a 1 after the 2? No way!

Well, this morning I got up knowing that the scale could not have moved again. It had moved two days in a row. I looked down with low expectations and read the numbers 217.1. Oh my goodness! Could I really have lost 4 pounds in three days? How in the world can the scale go from stagnant to 4 pounds in 3 days? Simply amazing!

My daughter is getting married in 7 weeks and I really wanted to be in One-derland. I had given up hope for that goal and decided I would just get as low as I could. Now I'm starting to wonder if that goal is attainable. Can I possibly lose 18 more pounds in 8 weeks? That would be amazing! What a gift to my daughter (and myself) to be that small for her wedding. I know this surgery works - I've seen it on others. But could it possibly work that well for me ....
