O.k., I am having trouble trying to get back on track! I have gotten into some old snacking habbits and have not lost a pound in a month! I know that this isn't just a plateu because I am not eating what I should! I have lost 91 pounds and would like to lose another 25-30... This will put me at 150-155 (I don't think that is unreasonable, I am 5'6....the BMI chart says I should weigh 142!!! ) *****I do get exercise so at least I have that peice of the puzzle in place, but my mental/emotional state of mind is out of control. I feel like my time is running out...even though logically I don't think it is, but logic is not ruling me right now, my emotions are! Each night I think, "O.K., in the morning I am going to start off right and eat what I should". This is exactly what I used to say to myself pre-surgery! I am affraid that I am going to ruin my success. Help.

Ah well I had a breast reduction / Lift when I was only 7 months post op in April. INsurance paid for almost all of that. But the tummy tuck they wanted 3 months of documented rash history from a doc. I didn't want to wait and go through all of that so I paid $5300.00 for the tummy tuck out of pocket. I figured if I wanted it bad enough, I would find a way. And I did. The skin made me feel fat. As if I hadn't lost so much. I was still shy in my own body. Hiding even from my mate. So it needed to go for sure. Check out plastic surgeon offices. Alot offer in home finance programs. It is a great thing

Well I just took my 11 month post op pics last night and I can kind of tell the difference since having my tummy tuck. I have more of a defined waist line compared to my last pics. I am still very much swollen and have fluid but I just thought I would share these pics with everyone. I feel awesome with my new body. Just click on the WLS album to view.
