Onderland has arrived

Good morning...I have arrived!  At least that is what my scale screamed at me this morning!  Am at 199, haven't seen that number since around 1981.  My weight loss is slow, 31lbs since December 26th but that is fine with me.  Cannot even explain the emotions that rushed through my head this morning when I stepped on the scale, last week gave away all of my "professional" clothing ie. suits, dresses, evening gown to a friend at work it was like loosing an old friend.  How absurd clothing your friend but there were a lot of memories in those garments...lol...a lot of "eating" memories! Threw away some shorts, went to Walmart and got some new,Goodwill for jeans.  I was wrong when early on I thought the surgeon may not have really done the surgery...lol. Am so grateful for the surgery and as they say...wish I'd  done it 20 yrs ago.  All those years hiding from cameras so that I would not have to look at myself. Let my daughter take a photo of me the other day outside in the front yard...she was shocked then my son posted it on my facebook...lo and behold I didn't have a fit like I in the past, he was celebrating with me!  Oh Happy Day!

Congratulations - onederland is a BEAUTIFUL thing!!

My weight loss is slow but steay; I'll take a slow, steady loss any day.

I am still not thrilled about a camera, but at least I don't run from cameras like a vampire running from the sun.
