How close were you

 

It took a while for my image in the mirror to match reality as I was losing weight.  You're not alone in that.  Sometimes it easier to see the weight loss if you look at pictures of yourself.  Shavara, the changes in your photographs are very dramatic.  Compared to what you've already lost, you really don't have a whole lot left to go to reach your goal.

  It will happen before you know it.  Keep working your tool.  

I was 7lbs away ...it took me two months to loose that last 7

Shavara,
I echo all the other posters...you are doing GREAT! Keep focusing on what you've gained (mobility, new clothes, health,) than what you haven't lost (more weight). We beat ourselves up so much for not doing something instead off celebrating what we have accomplished. Enjoy the journey you've done a great job I remember when you had your surgery and reading your blogs/post and your journey has been great! 

So good luck on the next part of your journey

You did so well, you have lost alot of weight.  You look, wonderful.  It has been experience, just talking with some of my friends, who had WLS.  That everyone, does not meet there personal goal in 12 months, but, can do it by 15th and 18 th month. 

Keep your head up. 

You have failed at nothing....you have done an excellent job and there is more to come for you.

be blessed,
Ms.Cleo
