You are so right! The fight is not over! We will be fighting this battle for the rest of our lives.
I am making an appt with my doctor and while there I am going to request sessions with the therapist and nutritionist.
Thank you so much!

Thank you ChiSue!!! You gave me a lot to think about and I'm so happy you posted. I wi**** was for a happier reason, but nevertheless, you're gonna have to post more now!
I think I was putting off my dr. appt because I was ashamed, but you made me realize that I'm a success. I've lost a lot of weight, not a total failure. So I'm calling in the morning to my PCP and my surgeon to make appts. Heck, I might as well call the gyn and make an appt too!
Thanks again. I was at a low point the other day and thanks for pulling me up!

Ah update that tracker! I've made a promise to myself I will update monthly so I am able to see that what I think of as failures are normal ups and downs! I've found that hiding that number when in goes in the wrong direction makes it easier to sit back and do nothing about it.

Ok- another 14th chiming in:) I am officially down 90-100 lbs. I currently am struggling with the same 5 lbs. I am at 130-135 on any given day. I have THREE bikinis and I wear them proud! If you don't want to look at saggy skin don't look- but I think I look GREAT! I am very proud of ALL of us! We have all worked hard and it has paid off. Congrats folks!
Topic: RE: When I look in the mirror, I see...
Oh Sweetie! BREATHE! You are not alone in this journey. I wish I could reach over the internet and give you a big hug. I have a lady in my office who had surgery in March and she now weighs less than I do. I remind myself I outweighed her by 50 or more pounds, but I am always comparing myself to her!
I'm not where I wanted to be a year out either. I've even changed my goal. I'm not getting much exercise, but when I look back at my health...when I compare picture to picture...I'D DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN! I hope you save a pair of pants from the beginning...get them back out! You look so wonderful! I've never been thin either..don't know what that even is, but I'm the same size or smaller than I was when I graduated from high school and have never been this small since I was married! I'm 5'4"....rounded up, so I am vertically challenged.
We are all individuals. We all had different issues going into this. We all have different bodies, different results, different ages (some of us don't bounce back as fast...or at all). We can't fall in the trap of comparing ourselves or our results to others.
I'm not telling you that what you are doing is ok, but I'm telling you that you are still OK. I think all of us have gotten comfortable with our new selfs. It is much easier to pick back up some of those bad habits. Just think how long we had them!
You still have a wonderful tool. You can still use it. Start back with the basics when you are ready. We are here for you! Journal your food.
Hang in there sweetie and don't give up. Let me know if I can help.
HUGS!
