So close to onederland!!

Ok guys- I am going into Thanksgiving thinking about Lisa's 3 bite rule and am ready for the challege. Of course this year it will be made much easier by the fact that I am only 8 lbs away from Onederland!!! I can't believe it! I shopped over the weekend and broke down in tears in a dressing room because I walked into a size that I haven't even been able to get one leg in (never mind both) in over 14 years. It felt great! I then took out my before picture for the first time on Monday, which was my 5 month anniversary and cried again. Part of me was so happy for the new me and part of me was so saddened knowing my weight had ever gotten that far out of control. Part of me felt stupid for not seeing how bad it really was. Now I see it. A reverse WOW moment of sorts. Have a happy and safe Turkey Day everyone!! -Erica

THANKS ERICA! I posted that 3 bite thing as it came emailed to me and thought it must be shared here. I know we are going to have temptations thrown at us over the next few weeks for the holiday season... I hope it helps you get thru any difficult situations. LIKE you i am very near ONDERLAND its takeing me forever to cross over. I hope to be blessed thanksgiving morning with that ONDERLAND image in the scale. TO see a weight number begin with 1~~~ WOW So glad you got out and tried on clothes. I think its always good to look at the before pictures as a reminder of where we were! ENJOY ur holiday! BE well lisa 310/200/???

I too am hovering so close to ONEDERLAND that I can taste it. I am 5 months post-op and officially 6 1/2 pounds away as of this morning. I'm hoping to make my goal by Christmas. I seem to be losing a little slower. I just got off of a 5-6 plateau - sticking at 208-209. Grrrr! But, I think I almost fell over this morning when the scale had FINALLY moved. I too can't wait to see a 1 instead of a 2. I haven't seen that since high school. Congrats on the clothes shopping - that's got to feel great. Have a great Thanksgiving!

I wonder if we will all walk into Onederland together? Nicole Lap RNY - 6/7/05 312/201/150

Hi Everybody I'm not that close to onderland. But, I am doing a countdown to having 100 lbs off. Then, once that is complete, I will start my countdown to onederland. Wish me luck!

I guess it sometimes takes another set of eyes to see what's right in front of you.

It's all in how you look at it, isn't it? Nicole
