Well its been over a year since I blogged on here. Since then I have experienced everything possible with the lapband journey. But last month I reached the 100 pound loss victory.
I cant tell you the joy you experience seeing peoples faces saying you have lost over 100 pounds. But even more joy on going to the section of clothing that does not have the word PLUS infront of it. :w00t:
I often get stuck at the same weight for a period of time. I have found that changing your routine helps. One month I cut out all oil, the next all sugar. :ohmy: I change it up to keep my body confused and it seems to be working for me. The weight is still slow but I was told this was a 3 year process and I am 15 months in. I am dedicated and hope any of you reading this keep the hope of change.
Win the battle... :frown:
July 13th at 10 am! :confused:
I get to change my life and I have a life to change. I am so excited and can not contain it. :w00t:
The work is coming but so is the adventure.
Cheers to all you bandsters! :thumbup:
Is this journey truly worth this much work?

Now all I see is light and possiblity. One year of my life waiting for a piece of paper. Was it worth it? HECK YEAH!
