Been awhile

Thanks Iris. I guess it does take the brain awhile to catch up. Sometimes when I look in the mirror I still see the same old me but then I will look at a picture from last Cgristmas and think wow is that really me!!! It is a wonderful tool just Iwasn't ready for the big speed trap!! Wasn't ready for the lbs to all of a sudden be like a little old lady with her blinker on! Oh well as I told Pam I am setting a goal of being 250 by Christmas that's just a little over 2lbs a week so I hope that is slow enough.


Thanks again
Melissa

Wow Melissa,

I think you look incredile!  I think we get so used to being disappointed, our minds go back to that place so easily...but you have made great progress and should be uber-proud of yourself. 

It does take time for the mind to catch up with the new body, especially because it's still changing (slow though it may seem).  Keep up the good work!

Thanks Deb. It is good to know from a veteran that this is normal. The whole brain and image thing. Sometimes I wonder if I am just obsessed with the whole thing and need to let it go. I know we do this for health but looks are a big thing too. Anyways... thanks again and I hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

 You look absolutely wonderful and I am so proud of your progress!!!  You really do look good.  The scales are also my worst enemy.  I had to stop weighing myself except for once a month because I was really getting discouraged.  Yes it is slow now but look at how far we have come.   Keep doing good.  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.  Keep us all posted.   Donna 

Hey Donna,
Those scales are a horrible thing! I tell myself I am not going to weigh but on Mondays and then come Thursday I find myself sneaking on them. I think I need to have my DH put em in his truck each week! LOL .. thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I appreciate all the help I can get. And I know thru Him all things are possible.

Thanks again
Melissa

Wow, Melissa, you are looking so great and  I've missed your posts!    I think you look very proportionate from your photos.  You are so pretty.  I hope that ulcer goes away soon and perhaps the Nexium won't be an always thing, but if it is, at least there's relief.  Be good to yourself! 

You are lookin great, Girl!!  Keep up the great work!!  There is a get together on Oct 7th.  Darci posted it sometime last week!!   Hope to see you then!
