Morning Morning Weigh In

Good morning - hope you all will continue to participate, even if youre pre-op, non -op, or whether you want to weigh in or not.

Goal - 180

After a frustrating stall last week and an emotionally rough week, the scale finally decided to cooperate, so I can't complain about that. It almost makes me forget about how irritating the stalls are.

I realized this morning that I'm only 22 lbs away from the double century (200 lb loss) mark, and it kind of shocked me. I dont know if its denial, shame or amazement, but it's a crazy thought. I dont ever want to have to admit that I lost 200 + lbs though so my answers to people's "how much have you lost" questions are going to have to get creative lol.

I'm starting to enjoy monday's because i feel re-energized after a great weekend, and my motivation is usually at its highest. Ive got my meals and snacks planned out for the week, and hopefully will have another great week on the scale.

How is everyone else doing?

Looks like you had a good week! I've completely given up any kind of holiday baking since my fingers are not connected to my brain and I could easily consume a days worth of calories just through nibbling. My mom and I used to make and eat a whole batch of fudge in one day, on top of other cookies/candies and what not.

Last year for my nephews (since baking was out of the question for me) I just bought a little 8 pack of sugar cookies and some frosting and let them decorate and then eat them. That way they could still enjoy the process and I didnt have to have the great temptations around. Just an idea :)

Keep up the good work!

Congrats on your great week! Do you have to do any kind of liquid pre-op diet? You will definitely be ringing in the new years in an epic way :)
