So I have just past the 9 month mark. I will remember this comment from my brother at Easter who was always criticizing about my weight. He is very proud of me and the tables have turned. He said to me this Easter "When do we have to start talking to you about anorexia?" I said I have another 50lbs before we have to worry about that, but I am only have another 10 or 20 pounds (was 201 then) then I am one hell of a happy camper.

I am not sure what it is. I was always told I carried my 300+ well and people thought I weighted 230 or 240. Now that I am 195 they think I am 145 and getting a little crazy. I will confess to the bony shoulders and the skinny face is a new look, but I am happy with my results and if I stopped today I would be still a happy camper.

My goal is in reach. 5 lbs away, but my nutritionist say if I want to go to 180 she would be fine with it but nothing lower. I am just excited about the idea of a 2 piece this summer!!! I got one that covers the stuff I want to have surgery on and I am nervous about wearing, but I am going to do it!!

A 2 PIECE!!!!!   go on girl!!!!!!   thats AWESOME!!      That right there is reason enough to celebrate!!

Ive never been able to wear a 2 piece.. other than a tankini with a little skirt.. LOL    ROCK IT OUT!!

sidenote:   My brother was the same as yours... and now the tables have turned. His wife has gained some weight after being thin and athletic her entire life and she asks ME for nutitrion and fitness advice.. its a great change for me.

Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement and support. It ia great to have people understand the journey and the feelings that go with it.

Jaclyn- I have never worn a 2 peice with actual stomach showing since I was about 5yr old! So it is a huge deal for me!

Isn't it nice to have the shoe on the other foot for once in life!
