a milestone in my journey-

[citygal 0]

Hello all- I've not been posting much since I've been traveling almost 90% of the time since I a week post surgery. So this week I reached an important milestone for me. I have lost 75 pounds from my highest weight of 350 in 2007. Although I struggled with my lapband the 50 pounds I lost and managed to keep off were a step in the right direction. Now with the added weight loss from my sleeve I am feeling my body start to reshape into the strong healthy woman I want to be.

Being on the road all the time can present some challeneges and I find myself still putting larger portions of food on my plate than I can possibly eat....my eyes and my stomach (literally) haven't quite caught up with each other...I attended a national conference last week in LA and was able to wear two suits that were size 20....I haven't been in a 20 in years. I'm trying to enjoy my body where it is and not be obsessed with the future.

I'm home sick with a wicked cold today and am trying to remember that my body needs sleep more than it needs food...in the old days a day like this would have been an all day binge day....my sleeve makes that impossible...thank god.

congrats on your progress so far! It is hard to travel and attend functions. So many seminars, conferences, etc offer wonderful breakfasts - a variety of pastries, coffee, tea and water! lol If you are lucky, they will have yogurt and fresh fruit! : )

sounds like you are adjusting to live on the road with your new tummy! continued good luck!
