1 year since surgery

Jun 29, 2012

I am happy to say that as of today I have lost 175 lbs.  total.  I had hoped to have lost more, but I am still happy.  I still have a way to go to reach my ultimate goal. Actually,  I have more to lose than many others  wanted to lose from their start, but I am hopeful that  slow and steady wins the race. I knew when I started that I would not fix my problem with food overnight.  I still struggle with temptations, but even the slow progress and sagging skin are better than weekly feeling my life was slowing slipping away.  I have reached many of my goals, wearing girlie sandals again, walking through the mall with my daughter, shopping at Wal-mart without using a motorized cart, getting out of the 400s and getting out of the 300s.  I am still working on riding a bike again.  I have the bike all ready to go , but it is just too hot outside, so I am going to wait awhile until I can actually enjoy riding, but I feel I can do it, and that is enough for now.    When I originally set my weight loss goals, I did not figure in stalls.  And I have lived through my share of stalls, but truthfully even with getting stuck from time to time,  I am most grateful for not falling back into binging mode where my weight slowly and sometime quickly came back on.  I has been a tough year with being out of work and financial worries, but I a happy to be working again.  All in all I have been  blessed  with good health, a job, healthy children and good friends.  Thanks to all of you on OH for your support.  My best  to all!
