Happy 2 year anniversary to Me!

Hi Everyone, I have not posted in a long time....boy things have changed around here! Today is my 2 year anniversary, I can not believe how time flys. I went from 262lbs size 20 in pants to 144lbs and anywhere between a size 4-8. What an expierence this has been, all in all it has been a very positive change in my life. I have been through an emotional roller coaster some real highs and some real lows, loosing all this weight has caused some "issues" to re-surface for me and I am dealing with them. I also had plastics done already, again all in all I am pleased with them being able to wear whatever I want and not feeling like I have to hide my stomach is a great feeling, I did have severe complications from my plastics and it was touch and go for a while, but I made it through that as well...thank god! This site and especially the people here have been a great source of support, to so many out there...thank you, thank you, thank you! I am really dealing with the food demons...I love sweets (I don't dump usually) and have a hard time staying away from them...they are everywhere! I have not gained any weight but struggle with the desire to eat the wrong foods, and find myself giving into the desire much to often. Take Care, Melissa

Congratulations Melissa!!! I have watched your changes/transformation and you have done such a great job! You look great!!!! Stay strong and stay away from the sweet demon!!! Valerie

Thanks Valerie!

Ginny, I can't believe it either! Thanks! Melissa

Congrats on your success and happy 2 years to you!! just remember all good things are worth fighting for...so fight those food demons with all you've got!! congrats again and keep up the great job...

Hi Stephanie, Thanks! My friend who also had wls and I were just talking today about how important it is for us to remember where we were and what it took to get to where we are now.... Take care, Melissa

Happy Anniversary Melissa, I have enjoyed your post and watching your transformation. You are indeed a beautiful woman. As for the sugar cravings, they are my weakness also. I saw the scale move up a few lbs over the weekend and freaked out. On Monday I started a liquid diet, this is day 3. I'm amazed at how well I feel, and guess what I am not craving carbs or sugar anymore. Best wishes for continued success. Dana

Congratulations Melissa and I wish you continued success! Tracy B 328/150's 5'9"
