Okay at 196 Onderland is looking a little more real today

Yesterday I realized that I had entered the realm of Onderland, but I was really having a hard time getting my head around it. Today is a little better, as I wander a little deeper into Onderland.

When I got on the scale this morning .... I know, I'm being obsessive ... Anyway, when I got on the scale this morning, I have to admit that I half expected it to say that the 198 that appeared yesterday was just a fickle, figment of my imagination. So, again I took a deep breath ... then, I looked down and it said 196! Oh my goodness. I think it's real!

I think I'm beginning to believe that I'll never see the number 200 on my scale again. That is a wonderful, liberating feeling. It gives me the push to keep going. To keep making the "right" decisions for me. You see, even though I had RNY my body acts like I had a lapband. I don't have problems with dumping on sugars, carbs or fats. So, it's all about making the right choices. For me, that meant selecting Dr. Eric DeMaria w/DukeWLS to perform the RNY for me. It continues with the decisions I make daily regarding food, supplements, and exercise. I know that I'll have to continue to make the right choices ...food and exercise ... for the rest of my life to stay as far away from 200 as possible. Today, I know that I'm up for it.

I also had bought some blouses for my sister-in-law at Old Navy that were on clearance. I just hadn't sent 'em to her yet ... Well, when she get 'em they will be lightly worn. I have never been able to wear anything from Old Navy. Now I can wear their size xxl with space to spare.

Thanks for letting me share ...It means more than you know ... No, that's not true. You do know ... that's why sharing with you is so very special.

Barbara,      Congrats on two more glorious pounds! SO happy for you. Now send some good vibes my way so my scales will move. I have been stalled for two weeks now. It's gonna happen soon I hope. Lisa

Feel the good vibes floating your direction ....

Oh, how I had stalls! The only good thing about a stall, is when it ends! LOL

Check my profile. You'll see that I keep a table that shows my stalls and when I start moving again. It really helps me keep perspective when I hit the stalls. I know that the downward movement is not too far off.

I know that the scale will start moving south for you very soon.

Thanks again for all of your warmth and encouragement. It is appreciated more than I can say.

Barb

Thanks Friend! I just love it when you are right!
