Default another month down
I can't believe I'm a couple of weeks away from being 4 months post-op. Time has flown by, it's insane! And I only have about 15lb's to lose!

My life has changed so much. From small seemingly silly things like being able to buy whatever clothes I LIKE, to the huge difference in how people treat me as a normal sized person. For the first time in my life I am genuinely happy and content... ha, and people say losing weight wont make me happy!

I am healthy, I have SO much energy and I actually like myself! ha ha!

Anyway, just thought I'd check in... I'm still alive even though not on TT very much!

Love you all!

I too haven't been writing as much on TT...Life gets kinda busy! But love your post and am so very happy for you. It's Sunday morning and if I don't go over my sermon soon, I will not be happy as worship begins in 45 mins. but I just had to stop when I checked email and got your upbeat message. You go, girl!

Best of everything to you! (Well, except calories!)

Default I've lost 100lb!!
WOW - I've lost 100 pounds!!! And being just 3 - 4lbs to go til I'm safely within my ideal range, I feel fantastic!

I know it's shallow, but the compliments I get have changed my life. I guess thats normal since my whole life the comments about my weight have been only negative! My brain still thinks I'm fat though... hmmm, when I go to pay for my tiny clothes, I really think the cashier is thinking "yeak right you can fit into this size!". Ha ha... I guess it will take a little while to change my brain to fit the body!

And lots of love and luck to my new friend CarlaB who is having her op in 11 days with my miracle man surgeon! Go Carla!
