High School Weight

Today I got on the scale and I saw that the scale read 236 - which is great - I've let go of 86 pounds since surgery in August - but 236 is a significant weight because in my junior year in high school, everyone got weighed in the gym - an odd school activity to be sure - but my weight that day was 236. Now some would argue that being at your "high school weight" would be a major accomplishment but at the time I remember being MORTIFIED of that weight - most kids weighed 150,160 - and although I was tall - that still seemed like an absurdly high weight for a kid of 16.
Today though I am happy with that weight. I have been dropping consistently without a single glitch or "plateau" and I am grateful that at some point I will reach my goal (just 26 pounds away now) and will continue adapting and being in gratitude and appreciation for the second chance this whole process has given me. I know it won't be as easy as it has been so far (I read other posts) but I am so grateful that this surgery exists to help those like me who, up until now, seemed hopelessly incapable of helping myself.
Peace y'all!
