After my pathetic loss at my doctors appointment last week, I have been feeling really disappointed. I have been good about not cheating since then but I am constantly thinking about that stupid scale and only 4 pounds!!

I needed to give myself some positivity. I did my measurements when I was 6 days post op.I have been recording my measurements randomly about once a month. I never went back and compared them. Well, i needed a boost so here it is:

Bust -5 inches

Belly -10.5 inches

Hips -9 inches

Thighs -4 inches each

Arms -2 inches each

In 4 months I have decreased myself by 53 inches!!

That gave me a nice boost but also made me realize just how far I had let myself go.

Am I really just being too hard on myself?? Expecting too much??

53 inches that is great!!! I dont get upset with the scale i rather look at how clothes fit.

dont be so hard on yourself. i just had my 6 month eval and the scale said i only lost 3 lbs in TWO months!! ouch! my body has always been good at maintaining, it doesnt like to let got of my fat.

One thing this Band New Life is teaching me is patience. I was never one to have much of it. It will happen if we keep at it!

Good luck!
