Monday...again...
Getting back to work meant that I was good as far as exercise is concerned and while I struggled with my vitamin routine the first few days I think I've got that worked out.
I hear you on the clothes too, my sister has been throwing bags of clothes at me (14-18's), and ya it's so strange to look at them and think no way but then I'm zipping them up... crazy.
HW- 386
LW- 231.7
TW- 227.7
Made it into the 220's for my 5 month surgiversary on Friday which was super exciting and I'm amazed how close I am to my low weight. My next goal is 220 (low weight), followed of course by getting under 220 and the next significant one is getting under 200. You summed it up perfectly Erin... what life is this?
Hope everyone has a great week!

morning weekly weighers!
the scale didn't move very much for me this week, but that's ok. It's still a decent loss. And bonus: my mom has been obsessed with me trying on her clothes when I visit haha. This weekend, she got me to try on a pair of dress pants... in a size 16!!!!! I mean, they were waaaayyy too tight to wear, but I actually fit into them. What life is this??
stats:
hw: 378
LW: 232
TW: 230.5
goals: next goal is 228, which is 150lbs lost.
then, under 200.

I can relate. My feelings are less jealousy and more embarrassment. I am embarrassed that I let myself get that large and stay that large for so long. I think about if I had contained myself in the 200s I would have a much easier path and not all the loose skin I have now.
Like someone else said, I basically ignore the people that start around 250, they get under 200 in 2 months and act like they have completed a magic trick.
Starting as high as I did, at 370, and trying to lose 200 pounds seems like I am just in the losing phase forever. I am actually getting tired of it. I would like to build a wardrobe again. I can't get attached to any clothing or shoes because soon they don't fit. I know these are good problems to have but after almost 2 years I am over it. I just want to get to my goal weight, or just chill where I am.
I can never get used to my new body because it is still always changing. I'm over it.

I'm glad that you've gotten some leads! I went through your old posts to refresh my memory and saw the comments about binging. Have you talked with your PCP about that? (I'm sorry if you've posted about this, my memory is crappy.)

Thanks so much, Cynthia. I really appreciate all your words and sharing your experiences pre and post surgery. I keep coming "this close" to telling people, but I'm really not ready. I am really ready for the surgery though! The waiting times in Canada are about a year, and I've just started. I'll be working on patience!! In the meantime, yes, I'll be here a lot. I find it super helpful. :)
