Finally Overweight, No Longer Obese

I can finally say goodbye to being termed *obese*. I'm still overweight, but obesity should be gone for good. I'm feeling great, only had a single hot flash yesterday after eating, and none so far today. I'm successfully getting back into my routine of exercise after a very hectic few months of summer. I still have excellent restriction and am focusing on all the good things of life ... rather than food. I am thrilled that I had WLS and feel the sky is the limit with what activities and choices I have now that wouldn't have been possible before! I've been able to drop my blood pressure medicine, my cholesterol medicine, and my anti-depressant ... and feeling so much better than when I needed all of them!

I may go shopping today for some new bluejeans. I haven't shopped since surgery for clothes, except to buy drawstring pants made of T-shirt material and some T shirts. So, you can imagine I'm way past due on actually getting something that might *fit*. ; )

I'm not losing as fast as some, but I'm thrilled with my loss and ability to exercise, walk, climb stairs and not need to sit down or catch my breath. I'm almost 1/2 way to my goal and looking forward to the rest of journey with my OH pals.
