I have just been lurking and I've enjoyed all of your posting. My surgery was 8/10/04 and I'm at goal(138)and have been for three months. I feel great. My sugar is perfect with no medication. The only problem I have is I've traded one addiction(food) for another(shopping)That isn't really the problem. It's that I can't see myself as small. When I go into a store I head for the plus size clothes. When I try on pants I start with 12/14 then go down to 10/12, then down to 8/10. Then finally get to 6/8. I see someone and I think I sure wish I were her size. Then find out she out weighs me by 10-15 pounds. I don't know if I'll ever know what sizeI am
If that is my biggest problem I ever have then I'm living a charmed life. I feel like Cinderella at the ball. have enjoyed every minute of this journey. I have been blessed. Love, Mary
Congratulations Mary at getting at goal! I can't wait to get there myself! I have lost 102.2 as of this morning, and would like to lose another 70-90...not so sure where I want to end up til I get there! I know what you mean about not realizing the size you really are, I have that problem and I'm sure it will continue.
Continued success as you maintain!!!

Wow Mary, congratulations! I completely understand about not knowing what size you are anymore. That has taken some adjustment for me too....still not completely aware of my size. A friend of mine, Travis, drives a Mustang (notorious for the small backseats!) and I was going to go somewhere with him and another friend (Michael), who I thought was much smaller than me. They told me I had to sit in the back cause I was so little...I was like, "No way, I'm bigger than Michael!" and we had to do a comparison right then and there. Sure enough, I was much smaller than him....I had no idea. It's a strange feeling but I am thrilled with my weight loss! I had to buy a size 12 dress for my grandpa's wedding this weekend :D
