Four Months Today!!!

It doesn't seem like it was four months ago today I got banded. I don't really think about my band all that much and have grown to just making good choices and eating well the majority of the time.

 

The biggest changes in me are in my emotional and physical health. I work out HARD 5-6 days a week. My blood pressure and cholesterol are within normal ranges. My knees and back don't hurt. Feet don't swell. Emotionally I feel like I'm 40 (30?) again and have no qualms about going places, meeting people and getting involved.

 

I'm a little short of halfway to goal. When I get there I will have lost more weight than I will weigh. Nice!!

 

I don't have many clothes to wear but I work with the outfits I have to look nice at work. I've lost 6 sizes on bottom and 3 on top so far and I have a ways to go so I'm not investing in that yet!

 

I am happy. I no longer sit around waiting for things to happen for me; I make them happen. I think the mental and emotional changes are as noticeable to me (if not more) than the physical changes.

 

On to the next month! Thank you all for being there for me. This is a great mechanism for talking, venting and finding some good recommendations. I am running (ok jogging) to the next month!

That is just absolutely awesome! I'm so happy for all the success that you have had and I have no doubt that it will continue. You can't possibly know the affect you have on all of us out here. You haven't just lost a whole bunch of weight, you have gained friends, because that is surely how I think of you!

Way to go, Sandy!
