What are your greatest accomplishments after loosing the weight?

What has been your greatest accomplishments after loosing all the weight?
How did that make you feel?
When was the last time you felt so good about yourself?

My greatest accomplishment has been learning to love myself and not depend on others approval. I had no self esteem for a long time, but I feel good about myself today. Until now, I have never felt this good about myself.

Hi Sabrina,

What a great couple of thoughtful questions! That said, they aren't that easy for me to answer, especially since I'm several years out. 

Greatest accomplishments... 

Getting to goal

Losing the regain I experienced

Maintaining my weight

How did these accomplishments make me feel?

Empowered. For the first time in my life, I know that I can manage my weight. I can leverage my WLS tool and others that I've gathered to help me maintain the health, quality of life and appearance that I've worked so hard to achieve. 

When was the last time you felt so good about yourself?

This can be a touch subject because as we are losing the weight we tend to focus on the positives, but as I've moved into maintenance, I've found that I'm rather harsh and critical of myself. Enough so, that I have to now focus daily on things that I feel good about to balance out the criticisms. 

So, in answer to your question, the last time I felt this good about myself was probably when I was feeling good about being the mother I wanted to be to my children as they were young babies. 

I hope that some others will join in and answer your thought provoking questions.
