Well it will be 10 months on Monday 8/31. I am 141 lbs right on the nose! No longer overweight, just inside the normal range for my height. OMG - I never imagined. Actually I remember last year trying not to daydream about what it could be like or where I would be after the surgery. I was very intent on the process at hand and trying to keep up with the doctors and the insurance.
I am here 10 months later, through a lot of bumps in the emotional road, but I am about 104 lbs down...

It's been a popular question lately. Should I look into to plastic surgery for my middle or not. My best guess, is that I have about 5 - 7 lbs of skin and fat around my middle. I am sure not comfortable with my body clothed and naked is even worse. I don't want my DH to look of touch me... But how can I afford the cost of surgery? Ball parking the cost at $6,000 - $8,000 for the lower body lift + additional money for the 4 - 6 weeks recovery and being out on disability. That's a whole lot of money...

I have asked this question many times over the last year or so. I find that I continually measure myself against some standard that I don't even know how it was set. Who's damn yard stick is it and why do I feel the need to be measured or measure myself against it. It seems that I continue to set myself up for failure by compare myself to this "thing" - whatever it is.... Logically I know that you can not compare people as everyone's personal experience is what makes everyone unique. ...

It will be 9 months to the day of my surgery on Friday 7/31, and I am afraid.
I am afraid of the things I know I can eat, I am afraid of my lack of control over the food and my emotions. I am afraid of gaining weight.
I thought I knew. I really thought that I would not have this problem. What was I thinking? How dumb am I? I used to read other people's journeys and read their struggles and strife, and I thought not me...
Yeah, no .. thought wrong. my...

I am 8 months out, nearly 8 1/2.. and I am scared. I am afraid of myself. I am afraid of messing this up, I am afraid of not losing more, I am afraid of the person I see in the mirror .. and no one understands.
Everyone assumes that I am happy to have lost 100 lbs. I should be SO much happier to be thinner and feel better. I guess that is part the misconception - I don't necessarily feel better. I am still uncomfortable in my own skin. I hate to have my DH look at me naked. I am more...
