9 Months Post-op and 99 Pounds Gone!!

Well the past nine month have been a long journey.  I was at 298 pounds pre-op and have struggled every day to stay on track. It has been worth it.  I have gone from a size 32 to a 16.  There have been good days and bad days.  I will admit that I was a serious food addict.  I still have days that I just want to eat anything and everything, but I don't.  I just use the logic that if I eat whatever I am craving, then I won't be able to eat what my body needs.  May sound corny, but it works for me.  I wonder if I will ever see the smaller me when I look into the mirror?  I am very insecure about the extra skin that I have now.  All I can hope for is that in the future I will be able to afford to have plastic surgery to get it removed.  Well that is enough rambling for me.  Good luck everyone on your weight loss journey.
