What is the one thing you love about yourself when you look in the Mirror...

Now that some weight is coming of, I can see that Beautiful hourglass shape.

Yesterday a neighbor who had not seen me in about 6 months complimented me on my WL.

He told me that you could see that hourglass shape a mile away. That's how much it stands out...

I always did like the fact that I did have a nice one... So,,, glad to see it's back.

So what do you see about yourself in the Mirror that you love about yourself ?

[54Shirley 105]

Sounds good to me !

[54Shirley 105]

I have a waist!

You've come a long way ! So I bet it's nice.

My waist. Just tried on an old belt and remember it was on the last hole, realized I just lost 7 inches off my waist in 3 months. Ahh! What a great feeling considering I have not seen the scale change a lot.

[54Shirley 105]

Congrats ! Inches do make the difference !

I like that my pointy chin (which I used to hate) is becoming prominent again...lol. Also like being able to see a defined waistline again and ankles that aren't constantly swollen!

[54Shirley 105]

O,,, don't I hear and know that one......

[Cindy C 150]

You've come a long way ! So I bet it's nice.

It is. This is the first time since college that my boobs stuck out further than my belly! LOL!

I'm with Cindy. Love that my belly is smaller than my boobs. Also love to see my curves again.

[54Shirley 105]

Yep ! I hear that one too ! I love these curves,

Eventually the waist will get nice and small.

I got time,,, O.K. Times Up ! LOL.

I have got some patience, so as long as it keeps coming off,,,,

I'll get there,,, eventually.

I know, waiting is so hard, especially after losing so much (I've lost 61lbs total so far, some pre-band) but know I still have another 60 to lose sucks. Trying to be patient since it took almost 7 years to gain all this weight, and I know the band isn't a miracle worker...I want to be able to wear shorts and sleeveless tops again without being mortified! (Plus, I have never weighed less than my husband, so that's a big goal of mine...only about 35 more lbs to go for that!)

I got patients like I said, and this is my second time around.

First time I lost over 120lbs pre op, I took of 151 total. then the Doc screwed up,

made a bad call, and deflated me. I regained almost all back, maybe 25 lbs. shy of where I was.

So I started again this January, and I now have a excellent surgeon for aftercare (THAT'S IMPORTANT !)

So I learned to Wait for what I want...

Great Job on the weight Loss for being pre band.... I know it's hard, and frustrating at times,

but that just shows how strong of a person you really are.

Good Health to you, Shirley.
