FINALLY at GOAL!

Hey KY Friends.  I haven't see ya in a while.  I hope everyone is doing well. For those of you that remember me, I wanted to share some news...I FINALLY hit my goal I started this journey in November 2006 with lap band surgery.  I have the best doctor in N. KY..of course, it is Dr. Sonnanstine.  I weighed 193 pounds the day of surgery.  15 months later, I weighed in at 125.4!!  I originally picked my goal as 125...not really knowing what that was going to look like or how it would feel.  I don't remember weighing that...I'm sure I was in High school or early years in college.  I have had 4 kids so I really believed that it would be a stretch.  I figured I'd be lucky to get to 130.  I hit the 130s some time ago and the last 5 pounds have been killer.  I stayed between 126 and 129 for a few months.  I saw Dr. Sonnanstine last Tuesday and told him that I was at 126 and couldn't seem to get to 125.  He laughed and asked me if I realized I was already...THERE.  I know this to be true but at this point, the competative person in my came out and I told him it was about the damn number...I wanted to see 125, even if it was only for 1 day!!  The very next morning, I saw those beautiful numbers....125.4.  It is Saturday now...and I still haven't moved off of that number.  Ok...so what does 125 look like you may be wondering?  Well, it is saggy, skinny, and sort of gross looking...NAKED.  However, if FEELS friggin AWESOME!!!!  Good luck to all of you and just remember, your dreams can and will come true too.  Just keep working through it and NEVER EVER let anyone make you think you took the EASY way out....This is the hardest thing I have done in my life!
