Today is my 6 months surgeversary

I was just thinking about how far along I am. Although I do not know how much I weigh (I will not buy a scale) I do feel so much healthier. ? I can run up and down my stairs looking for the cordless phone with out getting out of breath ? I can sit like a sexy lady and finally cross my legs. ? I need a belt ? I can finally paint my toes with out almost passing out ? The clothes that I bought last month ( I bought them 2 sizes smaller) fit me loose this week ? Although my hair did fall out big time - I've noticed that it has slowed down ? Family members didn't recognize me - sometimes that a good thing though Now I know this may not big milestone for anyone -it made me so happy that I am finally in control of my weight and not the other way around. Don't get me wrong - have I cheated - yep, eat carbs- yep whole wheat toast every morning with peanut butter - half of it but I eat it, sugar -well I have had a sliver of birthday cake - but splenda is my new very best friend. I don't get in a lot of water but lots of diet Snapple and crystal light oh and Salt and vinegar chips are evil. Excersise?? Very hard for me but I do walk at work all over searching for documents. My dh bought me some 2 lbs dumbbells that I use everyday. I know that the weight could of melted off quicker if I stayed away from all of the mentioned above- I am glad for the slow weight loss, call me crazy but for me the slower it comes off the more I can better adjust mentally and emotionally. My best friend since we were 5 stares at me and asks me if I can see the difference - I tell her not really - but I feel it - ok I'll stop ranting off - have a great day everyone -Jo

Girl you are something else! What is going on with you?

Happy Anniversary! It's also my 6 month as well! Hurray for us! You sound like you are doing fabulous. I can totally relate with the crossing legs thing and painting toenails. I hadn't given myself a pedicure in almost 3 years. I was estatic that I could finally reach, even if I did have to contort my body to get to my pinky toe LOL! Congratulations Jo! Jessie
