Happy One Year Surgiversary to Me (One Day Late)!!

I meant to post yesterday...oh well. I know I've been MIA from the boards lately, but I am reading posts when I can and thinking of you all every day! I was really hoping to be at my goal by the one-year mark, but it just didn't happen for me. My body does not want to let go of any more fat! I will admit I don't exercise nearly as much as I used to, and I need to work on that. It is also very easy to fall back into old habits, so I need to be very careful. It is definitely more of a curse than a blessing to be able to eat almost anything without getting sick. At this point, if I want to lose the last 10 pounds, I will have to "diet" very strictly. After being on diets all my life, I'm tired of it!!! I'd rather just "live" - which, to me, means having pasta once in a while (even though it fills me up very quickly), having a piece of cake at a birthday party, or having a handful of potato chips when I want some. If that means I have to live with an extra 10 pounds, I'll deal. Also, I have a PS consult coming up on the 25th of this month. I don't know how much a tummy tuck is going to cost, but I REALLY want it! My midsection has always been a problem and continues to be, even though I am smaller. I just want it gone! I think the tummy tuck may even get me to my goal - I must have at least 10 pounds of fat and skin in my belly.  Well, there is my update! I really hope to see you guys soon, either at the RW support group this month (if I can make it), or at Angela's. Take care!

Congrats on your surgiversary Krista! You have done such an amazing job and should be very proud of yourself. Dave

Hi Krista,

Congrats on your weight loss up to this point and happy surgiversary (I like that word).  

Robin

congrats!!!!

Hope you're not fretting over 10lbs.. you should be so proud of what you have done for yourself. You are perfect and beautiful...with 10lbs or not. Happy 1 yr and best wishes for your journey!

Happy Surgiversary Krista!

Hi Krista,  You've done so well and i think you look just amazing without losing that last 10lbs. I can only hope I do as well as you have and look that good.  Good luck with your plastics consult, I'm so jealous! Make sure you keep us posted and I cant wait to see you next week.

Hi Krista!

HAPPY SURGIVERSARY TO YOU! 

You have come a long way in a year! Don't be so hard on yourself - winter is here and it's hard to get up the energy - just remember spring is around the corner and we are more active then!

Yes the last 10 pounds are hard BUT you can do it! How about getting a work out partner- that's what I am doing as soon as I can start exercising in another week.  I did it year ago with a friend nd we kept each other's morale up to go exercise and it worked!

Krista - congratulations on the "surgiversary"!!! Pam

Great job Krista...u r fabulous! I remember when i met you at dr. messier's group...you had already had your sugery and u were my inspiration and u continue to be.  I can' t wait for the day when I can say that all i need to lose is 10lbs.  You should reward yourself with a day at the spa...or a shopping spree..u r worth it!!!
