MacK Mama... This was a really good post, and it hit home on sooooo many levels for me. I
am glad to hear others feel like i do about goal weight.

I have read alot of posts where people were satisfied with their weight but the surgeons were not, so they felt like they had to lose more wieght to please the surgeon... I say SCREW THAT!!! 

 I say do what is comfortable to you, because you have to live with you, but your surgeon or nut does not.

Just like "I HATE" when someone says to someone who is a year or less out "You have done a great job". Too me that first year of losing weight is pretty much given, the work comes when you have to MAINTAIN for years... I am STILL trying to maintain at almost seven years out my appetite is at FULL SPEED i can look at something and gain a pound.

 The fat lady is still singing in my case.

Well said Trina.  This is SO true.  When I first had surgery, (coming from a 24/26) I said if I get to a size 14, I will be happy.  I never had an ideal weight because I didn't know what I would weigh at that size.  So I said a 14.  When I got to a 14, I was like i want to be a 12.  Got to a 12 and was cool.  Then I went down to a 10 and was weighing about 160 (went down to 157 when i had the flu) So now i am still in a 10 and "some" 12's and am weighing roughly about 168-169.  We must remember that this is a tool that we must continue to WORK on because if we don't, the pounds will soon creep back on us.  It is a job that we will have FOREVER. 

I totally feel this post and it is real!!!!

You know i have ONE pair of 8's and they are come Khaki Capri's and i tried them on ONLY because they didn't have them in a 10 and they fit and i was too excited...lol  but now since I have gained about 8-10 pounds they are a lil snug so by the time the weather gets nice enough to wear them again, i plan to be back in them...lol  but naw, not an 8....When i had my surgery my dad was like what size do you want to be, an 8?  I said "Heck Naw" that is TOO small...lol  but to be truthful I am happy in my size 10's.  I just need to get these 10 pounds back off of me...
