OMG! I have been getting closer and closer to ridding my life of the number two in the third position to the left of the decimal, but when the scale actually wouldn't balance on 200 and I had to shift the big slider to the one fifty spot and the little slider to forty nine, I just stared at the scale in disbelief. I got off the scale. I adjusted the weights, then got back on. Still the same. 199. Ok, I'm thinking. Trying to tell myself that I knew it was coming. Calm down, take a deep breath. In my mind I am thinking "didn't I just have to buy size 14 pants"? "Didn't I just give away all my size 22-24 clothing"? So why am I surprised that the scale says that I now weight less than 200 pounds for the first time in almost 25 years? 

BECAUSE IT HAS ONLY BEEN 3.5 MONTHS SINCE SURGERY.
Yes, I am yelling!
I am so happy that I cried all over my husband's shoulder this morning when he came down stairs. He is finally on the band wagon! He wasn't so sure about my having what he called ELECTIVE surgery. He didn't like the thought of people (men) noticing me again. He does, however, like the fact that I am a really cheap date, since I just eat from his plate now when we go out. But he finally said this morning that without the surgery I probably would have been close to 300 by now. This is major!

I am celebrating by having a cup of coffee with no protein powder mixed in! Whoo Hoo!
