5 1/2 months out w/photos I hope lol

I had my surgery Feb. 16th and have lost 94 pounds since day of & 112 including the preop diet. I feel really good, though the head games are hard to push through. I know I am losing, but there's still that feeling in my heart saying that I will never get to goal, that I won't really ever be normal, and that maybe it's not gonna happen. But it is! It's just that lil voice that I gotta fight every now and again-other than that I am doing awesome! I noticed the other day that  I can actually fit into chairs that have arms-without pain! I went from a 6x to a 22/24 on top & a 26/28 on bottom. I lose weirdly-for 2 weeks i will be stalled in then suddenly BAM down 6 pounds LOL It's so nice to look forward to getting on the scale for a change.

Looking really Good there !!!

 Hi Britt,

You are doing awesome. You and I lose the same way. Long stalls and then drop some lbs. Now that I understand this, I don't freak out every week when the scale stops moving. 

You look amazing. Keep up the great work and know the head games are just a part of this amazing journey.

Best,

Sharon

Thank you both so much

I know the feeling. It's all a head game. I catch myself wondering if I'll ever get there myself. But ya know... click under my photo to get to my profile and scroll all the way down... that's my weekly and monthly numbers. The scale DOES keep moving. It's slower, but it does move and really that's what counts. It's steady and it's predictable (I lose similar to how you do... nothing and then... wham...).

I'm not one to give this advice because I'm guilty too, but don't let the scale get into your head. I'm SO close to being under 200 (I STILL get on the scale expecting to see 300+ too) and I sometimes think... yeah, this is it... I'm not going to lose anymore. It's all a game, don't let it win.

Congrats You look great.  I bet you feel great too. 

You look great!! You lose light I did, none, and then boom!

You are doing it!!

Hugs

Head games suck!  Keep fighting them with the facts! The truth is the truth.

I'm an hour glass. I thought I would be an apple forever.  I was an overweight hourglass in high school and most of my 20s. I didn't think it would happen again. Well it did after 15 years, I have a waist. 

Keep documenting the progress and stare at it often.

thank you all for the support and kind words, it means so much. xoxo

Many times our feelings will fail us. Stick with the facts, you have lost and can still lose.
Congratulations!!
