One Year Down

So yesterday was my 1 year "Surgiversary", and also my 1 year follow-up with the Weight Loss Centre.  My pre-Opti weight was 365 lbs.  Yesterday my weight was 211 lbs., which is 13 lbs under the lowest goal weight the centre set for me.  All my blood work was perfect and I have never felt healthier in my life!

It's been a helluva year.  I still battle my inner demons on a daily basis.  Food is and probably always will be my nemesis.  But I'm so much better able to cope with temptations and able to understand why I feel as I do.  And on those occasions when the Demons win, I no longer fall even further into the pit of self-sabotage.  I acknowledge that I've screwed up, then I shake it off and get back to business.

I still want to lose another 11 - 12 pounds (I'd really love to hit 199 lbs, even just for a day so I can say I was in onederland ;) ).  But if I don't, I'm not going to beat myself up over it.  As long as I stay in the 200 - 210 lbs range I'll be thrilled.

To all those who's surgeries are coming up ... I'm so excited for you all.  This is a life-changing (and life-saving) journey and if you are honest with yourself and use this tool and all it can give you, you're going to rock it. :)

Enjoy yourself and enjoy your lives.
