Hey Kim, Glad to hear that you are feeling a little better. I went to the L&M support group meeting last night and listened to Mark Gaynor, a psychologist who had WLS 6 years ago. He had a lot of great things to say and I was so glad I went. One of the things he said about plateaus was, "Stop and think... when is the last time you were able to maintain a weight loss for this long" He added, "I have either always been on the way down or on the way up but never held steady. Appreciate where you are at the time." He really made a lot of sense. I never thought about the fact that I have never held the same weight for that long. Except at my biggest weight of course. So today I am appreciating that I got on the scale and still see the same thing as I did a couple of months ago. I know what you mean though about wanting to be OUT of the 200's. Hey! We'll have to declare your 199 day a state holiday for it will certainly be a day to celebrate!!! hee hee hee. Hang in there girl. Anyway today I had our annual Christmas lunch with our boss. It was at Modestos in Franklin....YUMMY Italian food. I was noticing what I ordered and how different my plate looked from before surgery. I actually opted for veggies instead of pasta for a side dish and enjoyed them!
