I have had some recent victories, scale and non. Even though I reached MY goal back on January 25th, my body has decided that it is not quite done yet. I have lost an additional 2 pounds, putting me at 133lbs and a loss of 127lbs. Is it wrong that I maybe wouldn't mind getting to 130 so I can say I've lost half my weight? Or even more-so, get down to 129lbs so I can say I'm in the 120s because I never have been and never believed I would or could? I don't dare tell the people around me that I'd like to lose more weight, they might panic. I do not look under-weight by any means and I don't look over-weight either. If I don't lose, I'm fine with that but I can't help but think it wouldn't be so bad. I'm not trying to lose, in fact I'm a little less careful about my food since I'm not scared of not reaching my goal. I still exercise regularly and will continue to as long as I'm physically able to. I actually enjoy it. I only do weights because I just want to build muscle and stay healthy. My BMI is 21.5, so I'm right smack in the middle of the healthy range. If i got down to 129, my BMI would be 20.8, so definitely still very healthy. Idk, we'll see. I just wanted to get that out.
Also, I have recently started connecting with some local girls that have undergone WLS. We have a private support group on Facebook and recently had a night out together. It's so nice having people in your life that understand what you're going through exactly when you are going through it.
NSV's now - Heels are my new obsession since I can actually wear them comfortably. I love going out dancing and can do it for hours without feeling tired or embarrassed, in fact, this past Saturday some 20-something college guy tried to grab a hold of me on the dance floor I'm a 32-year-old married mother of 2 for goodness sake! LOL While dancing to the Casper Slide, I was able to go all the way to the floor and back up WITH 4 inch heels on... And anyone who has ever tried that knows what a huge victory when you've been a "big" girl for so many years.
Ok, I've written plenty here Thanks for letting me share! The group photo is me and the local girls that have had surgery.
