     So today mark a year with my band! It has been more successfull in a year than I can every imagine. I have lost 132 pounds and have about 5 more pounds until I meet my second goal. I still have episodes of eating too fast and trying something and finding out it isn't going to work, but I have to say I feel so good about myself and my success. I work out about 2 hours every day except on the rare occasion where I give myself the day off. I gave myself today off from the gym as a little treat!   I also decided that attacking this on all levels was important to me ie exercise, medically, and psychologically. I think that has made the difference!

       I honestly look like a different person, but I am the same person, which I find shocking that some people I have known my whole life are different. It is true when they say that heavy people are treated differently. I have to say that is the real shock after this year. people who looked through me now see me, but now i don't care to see them.

     The next step is the plastic surgeon. I saw my first yesterday and needless to say, I will be seeing many more. The quote for a full body and a thigh lift were about 25K. YICKs! Pennies are being pinched! Hopefully by my 5th bandaversay!
