GOAL: I think I may be there.
Seems surreal, but I may be at goal. Since Sunday, I have been bouncing around 110.2-111.8, and yesterday I was at 109.6 and this morning, I hit a low of 108.7. I am in a size2 or zero, depending upon the cut and brand of clothes. Every pound lost at this point seems to make a difference in my clothes. I have size 2 pants that are getting too big and need to be taken in.
I feel and look like a different person, but my head hasn't completely caught up to where I am at now. People tell me that I am thin, and I think and sometimes say, "Who me?" I have NEVER been called thin in my entire life, except for about 19 years ago, when I was at 120 for about 4 months.
Funny, when I look in the mirror, sometimes I think the mirror is making me look thinner than I really am. I feel this way, when I am in a store trying on clothes or at the gym working out. I see the saggy and loose skin and sometimes feel sad that I did this to myself, but I would rather have the loose and saggy skin, than have it filled with fat again.
WLS has truly been a gift to me; the gift of health, no more severe sleep apnea, no more pre-diabetes, no more joint issues, and the list goes on and on. I feel like I have my life back. I owe my PCP so much, for suggesting the surgery to me. A year ago, I was 100 lbs heavier. Unbelievable, how far I have come in that length of time. I appreciate everyday and feel grateful for the healthy me.
The support from this board and other individuals that I have met in person, have been truly inspirational and motivational. I appreciate and love each and everyone of you.
Thank you so very much for all your support during the past several months.

Thank you, Gina!!! I feel like that lizard doing the Happy Dance. Your postings have been so inspirational and motivational during my journey to goal. I really appreciated your advice and support, when I was having problems early on. This forum is so supportive and really helped me to reach goal.
