1 year out!! =) 6/19/07
Im a few days late but i really wanted to post =) I will admit thoose first few months were VERY hard.... i think letting go of the one way i personally dealt with alot of issues instantaneously was very intenese. I guess you dont realize that food is a huuge part of your life until all of a sudden you cant use it as a way to solve your daily problems... In a year i have gone from 303 pounds to 181 a total loss of 122 pounds. I wore a size 28 last june and now can wear a 10 or 12 depending on the brand of jeans... im 11 pounds away from my personal goal weight of 170... i may want to lower it when i get there but thats what i weighed when i started seeing my husband 9 years ago and i was very happy & comfortable at that weight! Im dying to have some plastics done, im almost 24 and want to have the body i should... without the skin down to my knees =) i've already had a child and and pretty sure i am done... so i would love to enjoy a body i am comfortable in... I just want to say to anyone just starting this journey.... thats exactly what it is... a JOURNEY... it has its ups and downs but in the end when u weight a 100 + pounds less its all worth it... i have my life back... i look at pictures and wonder how i let myself get to where i was a year ago... i was soooo overweight and unhappy with life entirely... its definately takes a huuge life style change and when you start hitting your mini goals and dropping sizes it definately helps you along the way... i didnt do this to be some swimsuit model, i did this to be happy with myself and to be healthy... my son will be 4 in november and i didnt want to be the mom who couldnt play with him on the play ground or teach him how to play soccer... i wanted to make sure i was around when he was growing up... and RNY made me able to do that =)
I want to thank everyone for the adivce and encouragement throughout this process.... i wish you all the best !!
