So yesterday was my 3 week bandiversary.

I am happy to report that I am a third of my weigh(pardon the pun) LOL to my goal.

I have lost an amazing 30 pounds!:eek:

When I went to the doctor on Sept 7th for my last visit before surgery I was whopping 236 pounds:ohmy:

This morning when I got on the scale I was lovely 206!:smile2:

Originally my goal was to be under 200 by Christmas....but I think I may up the ante & go for Thanksgiving!

I have not eaten a real meal since October 10th...but who's counting:lol:

It has been hard at times to cook for my family but my clothes are starting to get big on me and that is the ultimate reward.

I know that I am so mentally committed to doing this. My doctor has cleared me to do only cardio and I cannot wait. I am on mushies and it hasn't been that bad....I try really hard not to obsess about food & for the most part I am not hungry.

Today I had a sweet potatoe & it was like eating filet mignon. All I keep telling myself is baby steps.

I know for me that this is the beat thing I have ever done for myself....I am so proud of me me me. That six months that I went thru the process of being approved was a great gift to myself, it totally helped me to prepare myself for what I was about to undertake.

Do I miss food? Yes, but what I miss more is my self-esteem & my self confidence. So I keep me eye on the prize ( which is a new & improved me) and continue to stay focused & take it one day at a time.
