No longer overweight, just.... NORMAL

I had an exciting moment this morning when I plugged in my new weight and realized that I am now in the "normal" weight range. Normal! From morbidly obese to ...... normal! I alternated between joy and tears. Joy, because I felt like a failure for YEARS while I tried to get here without success - despite my best efforts. Tears, because this surgery finally gave me the tool I needed to lose weight and be......normal. What an exciting 10 months we have had!

Well done, Evelyn! What an emotional experience...all the victories seem a bit bittersweet to me, as I recall the pain that was my every day life for so long...until a relatively short time ago, really...but such joy! Nice job Lisa

That is great. I so want to be you. I am stuck at the same weight now, but I am lsing inches. Tears of joy are definitely yours!!!

Congrats!! You are doing just super!!! You should be so very proud of yourself!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

That is absolutely the best news. Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment. You must be so excited! take care, Linda

Congratulations! I can't wait to get to where your at. I checked my BMI just a few minutes ago and I only have one more pound to go to be considered overweight. Goodbye forever to that ugly word "Obese".

WOO HOO Evelyn!!! I would have been crying, too. That is so awesome. You have come such a long way and are doing an amazing job. Congrats on being "Normal"!!! Hugs, Tabby
