2 Year Bandaversary
Well, I am a very slow loser. I would get so frustrated at times that I would lose only 1-2 pounds in a month, but I just figured that if other people can have success with the band I can too.
I didn't pick to have surgery to not succeed!! That would be the worst feeling in the world and would have definitley crushed me.. I was tired of beating myself up over my weight and I just decided that I would hang in there and try and stick to the plan as best I could.
I could eat bread, and cakes, etc, for a long time until I finally got to my sweet spot. Now, I can still eat them, but not very much and my taste buds have definitely changed as well.
I would always come to OH and look at the before/after pictures. Eventually 6months would pass and I would be down some lbs...the time really does go by quickly. So, on a bad day, think how much you will have lost in 3,6, 9 months...You'll be very surprised!!
Keep at it!!

ONE OF LIFE'S MYSTERIES IS HOW A TWO-POUND BOX OF CANDY CAN MAKE A PERSON GAIN FIVE POUNDS
You look wonderful!! And so great that there you are on a hot day in a strappy top and short skirt - not hiding behind plain dark baggy clothes any more!!
You must feel top of the world!
