Glad to hear things are going so well for you! Hope it lasts a real long time!
Here comes Darla with her opinions again...
I don't think you're in the "Honeymoon phase" as you describe it. I think you've simply come to some kind of comfortable acceptance of what you've done, and are beginning to enjoy it and feel less self-conscious talking about it! And I'm not so sure it's a phase, I think it's one of the things we learn as we go.
I've always thought the "honeymoon phase" meant the first 18-24 months after surgery, when weight loss comes at it's "easiest" - our tools are at their most effective during that time, and it's when we want to focus on getting all our excess weight off! Because as I understand it, beyond that 24 month mark, losing becomes a bit more difficult than it was DURING those first 24.
Of course, this is just MY perception, I hope some folks who are further out will elaborate.
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
You crack me up!! I am not sure about when the honeymoon phase start or ends or how long it lasts so I AGREE WITH DARLA!!!

Laura! You are getting so skinny. Are you going to be at group tomorrow. It's be nice to see you. I haven't seen you in a while.
As for the HM phase- I think Darla hit it right. I'm glad to hear you are feeling more comfortable. I know how nervous you were talking about it with people (people not here, anyway).
Keep up the great work!
Hugs,

YOU are doing an excellent job!!!! I agree with Darla, though I thought the honeymoon phase was like 12-18 months. But either way, I believe its referring to the actual weight loss vs. emotional side of it. Like you, I am definitely more comfortable talking with people at work and telling people what I have done. Especially everytime I turn around someone there is making good comments on the weight loss. As far as what comes next, hmmm......good question, hope someone knows, LOL.
