OH YES THE HEYL I AM!!! Wow moment! Long Post
Thank you so much Karen,
Its funny you should say that because I had already started to project in my head...if I would need to go further to look and feel the best....then I say whoa nellie....just get to 180 and then reassess LOL!
I know you are right though...because at that point ..the real toning will begin.

I was going to post this last night but got off on something else. BUT right now all I can do is laugh....yesterday after I posted...my girls and I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things that we had missed on Saturday. I was rounding the aisle to the dairy section. I spotted a familiar face and approached the woman and said, "Hey Bonnie...how are you doing?" (Close to our exact exchange) She said, "I thought that was YOU but I was not sure"...."I saw Jamaica (my daughter) but then I looked at you and said no thats not Lisa" " Wow!!! you have lost so much weight...you look wonderful". "How much weight have you lost?" I said, "well about 40 pounds since the last time you saw me" "You look good too" We exchange a little caught up information...our girls were in the same girl scout troop. We moved so they are now in different troops. As we departed, she commented AGAIN on how good I looked. I tell you....I thought I was going to have to hall my head up front in my cart because it had blow up that BIG!!!! I was saying to myself DAYUM thats a trip because this is one of the things I reported in my OP that I had not tested. SO I can now check the item listed last off my list. Ain't life grand... I am on cloud nine right now. I got on the scale this morning and it read 214...WTF!!! OK..now I am trippin.
Claim it girl! After reading your post and giving it some thought I decided to claim mine too. I'd put it off for far too long.
CONGRATULATIONS!
CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you so much Ms Msw,
Girl....we need to claim any and all successes in life. I realized that in almost 5.5 years I have never claimed any success in relation to my weight loss. It was always failure because I had not made my goal yet. Yes I claimed the fact that I no longer have sleep apnea or need meds for diabetes but I still felt like a failure regarding my WLS...and that feeling only fueled the vicious cycle of self loathing and wanting to use food to comfort myself. I had to remix my formula for success....from now on any little thing...I am claiming. We need to keep a positive frame of mind when facing one of the most difficult challenges of a life-time. There is no room for negative feelings of self-loathing.
