A Significant Day

I don't post here too often anymore, but this is an important day for me!

So, the stall broke this morning, and I officially weighed in at 232 pounds.

232 is a significant number for me.  Eight years ago, when I was on phentermene, I got down to 233 pounds.  My lowest weight ever as an adult.  And today, I broke that.  232.

232 is also significant because it means I am now merely obese, and no longer morbidly obese.  My BMI is under 40 for the first time that I can EVER remember.  I have a long way to go before I break out of the obese category, but as of today, according to my surgeon’s guidelines, I would not qualify for weight loss surgery.

My RNY has literally given me my life back.

WOW, Great news for you !!!!!! It must be so nice !!!!

   Woo Hoo!
Congrats! I know you are so happy with this. Its an amazing feeling to look at the scale and then say " Its been soo long since I saw these numbers".
I know when I hit the "obese" catagory, I cried. I recently hit the "overweight" catagory, and I bawled like a baby.
Keep up the great work and again, CONGRATS!
~hugs~

Congrats Bernice.    That is a big huge deal.    Enjoy this.
