Brittany...
I have been reading your journal...thanks for being so candid and open with us. Even if we don't actually post, we read, and cheer you on.
Please don't compare yourself to others. I know it is what we tend to do, but it can only be a set up to make you feel like a failure, which you are NOT. You are doing terrific. This is a major life change...you can't expect one surgery and a few weeks to change our mindset since it has taken years for that mindset to build up. Be patient with yourself, and give yourself time. Celebrate the "little" accomplishments (and I use that term loosely, because they are all major!) like your jeans!!!!!!! Like not sweating in them!!! Like not sweating at night!! These are all accomplishments that need to be acknowledged along the way, not just how much the scale has moved since the last try.
You are doing great, and I am very proud of you. I will be lurking and cheering you on!!!!!
