    Breast lift / augmentation

    I LOVE seeing pics! I find them so motivational!! You obviously look amazing, but even your "before" lift and augmentation photos gave me hope. Seriously... for losing the amount of weight you've lost I cannot believe how great your body looked! I know to some that may sound silly because obviously there was some excess skin, and clearly you were not happy with it yourself, but I will count my blessings if I end up looking as good as you did. I already have tummy sagging, upper thigh sagging, and, of course, "the girls" are not what they used to be. ha. But, in all seriousness, I am still almost 50 lbs. away from goal, and although I have been exercising like a beast I can totally see the future of my gravity-ridden body. It's so funny how this journey begins... and continues to expand. Maybe after a few years I can afford to have the body repairs you did too, but, girl, I think you looked great before and after. (200+ lbs. of weight loss is beyond comprehension for most!! Congratulations again and again!!)

    Good for you!! Hope all went well. I had that same procedure on 22/September/2011. There are haters on this board who will try to make you feel bad about your decision. Don't let them. clovers

    I got the munchies

    Hi Maddy. I wonder what you consider junk food? If by junk you mean fast food type food, having surgery in June of this year and changing my eating habits afterwards, I don't crave that any longer. I used to survive on that stuff several nights a week. Munchies to me usually means I crave salty, crunchy things. I had to retrain my brain away from wanting chips and that type of junk food (or at least try to retrain it). Instead of buying chips, I buy things like good pickles that satisfy that taste and texture sensation I want without setting myself up for failure. I don't often crave sweets, but I keep low calorie popsicles in the freezer so that I can have one and not stress if I want one. I still want chips and that type of stuff, but I'm also really more aware of how much longer I'm pushing back my success. All that said, I have to avoid the chip aisle at the grocery store or I still sometimes cave. I am a stress eater to some degree. A few weeks back, I was really tired and stressed with work. I stopped at the grocery store on the way home one night, and in a moment of psychosis bought a large bag of chips. I managed to eat a good portion of that bag over the next several hours. I also used to get the munchies out of boredom, usually at night. It was when I made a lot of bad choices. It's better now, but there are still nights when I get that urge to eat even though I'm not hungry. I can usually tell myself that I spent a boatload of money on surgery and have worked pretty hard since then to be successful through exercise and diet changes. I can usually change whatever I'm doing then and avoid a snack disaster. There have still been times when I've made the "wrong" decision, but I look at the percentage of "right" to "wrong" decisions I make now and just move on. Take care.
