WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
CENTURY MARK!!! [Down from HIGHEST Weight]
This is amazing to me. I know many have lost MUCH faster than I have but I am content with MY journey. Without the surgery and the support of all the wonderful folks here I can't imagine having lost this much weight. In the last 5-10 years I haven't lost more than maybe 10-15 lbs at any time... then I would gain it back. So I fell into the mindset of just maintaining around 288! My goal was NOT to get to 300.
THAT was a good goal actually- because without THAT GOAL...
there is no doubt in my mind that I would have gotten to 300+ lbs.
So no more blood pressure meds for me! I feel wonderful.
Doing well at Curves. Looking forward to cross-country skiing this winter. Maybe doing some snow-shoeing again... and next summer...buying some new swimsuits! yee ha! Maybe I'll even buy that Kayak I've been dreamin' about for a long time!
what an amazing journey to health this is!
Last week I was stuck at 189 for 4 days! and look this week I've lost 3.5 lbs absolutely terrific!!! ( if I do say so myself!!!
)
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are wonderful! Aren't we all? To have found a way out of the some of the worst territory in the world? We are incredibly blessed!

Let God's presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom
to sing, dance, praise, and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

being able to cross my legs! and stay seated that way for long periods of time! Still a shock everytime I do it!
and Kayaking-- if you've never tried it... you must!
It isn't all level 5 rapids! nice to just go down a slow river and enjoy the scenery - the birds- the serenity!
Of course, some little rapids are nice just for some excitement...
Kayaks are very stable in the water. Much more so than a canoe which can easily tip! and very manageable for 1 person!
Make it a goal!
and don't forget YOU are successful too! just taking a little break for a bit now re- focus and get movin! (a little tough love)
