Realigned my goal.

I have reset my goal.  I am now aiming for a BMI which is considered "normal" for someone of my height.  I am wearing a size 9/10 on the bottom and a M-L on top, which looks good on me at this time.  My doctor thought that I looked good yesterday and suggested that I not get too thin, as I would look unhealthy, and actually might get unhealthy.  So, as I feel really great even now, I have listened to him, and for now, have moved my goal ticker to 159, which puts me at 24.9 BMI.  If my body wants to get smaller after that, I will let it, but I am being mindful of my health, not focussing only on my desire to be skinny. 
Thanks for letting me share.

Good for you! Congratulations!

You Go Lady! That's an awesome attitutude to have!

thanks for your support! i feel like I am making good, positive thinking changes that may just allow me to be successful at ths weight control thing for once!

God move. There is a point in a successful WLS post-op where they realize that it is not all about the weight and the scale. Success is mostly defined in non-scale victories. Health, attitude and a new life are the best indicators of success. -- Tom

It's what will keep me here.  The scale just is a constant nagger. I can never please it, and I usually have a great day, unless I step on it and it hasn't moved or gone up .2 of a pound....
so it's best to stay off that thing as much as possible and just live healthily.

 That's wonderful news and a great post.  Thanks for the reminder to always be ready to change our goals.  I got a bit frustrated when I couldn't get below 185, so I just decided that's where my body wanted to be and let it be there for a few months.  I've lost a bit since, but it's not a huge deal to me now.  I just monitor where I'm at to make sure I stay on track.

Hugs...

 That sure takes the negative pressure off!  I like that.
