one year today

Happy Birthday to me While I haven't lost as much as I wanted to in a year, I am a far cry from the person I was. I kick myself a good one for not sticking to the plan and then I have picked myself up and started new. I have been seeing a counselor that deals with eating disorders. And I joined a new group that meets once a week with several others with problems just like mine. This was my first week there and I think its going to be tough but a good thing for me. I have lost a inches: chest- 10 waist- 13 hips- 14 left arm- 5.75 right arm- 4.5 left thigh- 2.25 right thigh- 2 Total inches lost- 51.5 I've gone from a size womens-24 to a 14/16 Happy Rebirthday to all my October Friends, Brokenwing starting weight 267. Surgery day 258.5 today 173 pounds. Goal weight- 130-140. My highest weight ever-315 pounds

Sorry it took so long for me to post. Yes, my re-birth is on 10-20-05. It has been great but since I started so high I thought I would of lost more by now. I am down by 127lbs. I would of loved for it to be more by now, but I had been on a plateau (from hell) (LOL) for 2 months and getting a bit frustrated. At last this past weekend I just lost 4 lbs.. I have continued w/ protein and veggies first and have the occasional sugar free chocolate. As my nut. says everything in moderation... I have been great with all my vitamins and water. It has been an amazing year and although I continue to view myself as a huge person, I continue to work on the whole body image thing. I have realized that I am a food addict and always will be. I just view food a bit differently now. I have my good days and bad days. Days I think oh my God I have eaten so much, and days I can hardly eat. All in all I wouldn't trade it for the world! I try to take things one day at a time and enjoy this new found appreciation for life that had been long forgotten! I wish you continued success and I thank you and all the OH members for continued support!
