Grats Indianlight :D

Speaking of which, I was getting dressed this morning and decided to wear my favorite black skirt that I haven't had the opportunity to wear for a while. Well, it was so big it sat on my hips, widest part and with a little tug would come right off. It is a size 30, I guess my 30's are just way too big, it is now on my ever growing pile of clothes to be given away. I am gonna need some new clothes soon ;)

But I'll give ya'll the link, and no I did not brush my hair this morning, and no I do not go to school with my hair like that, lol. Please excuse my grooming and lack of makeup but one was the morning of surgery and the other... well today is my day off from looking all fancy, hehe.

And thanks for all the encouragement :rolleyes:

THanks LapBandit, I like the blonde better too :rolleyes: I have naturally blonde for half of my life and as I've gotten older my hair has darkened to light brown, yuck on me. I let it go natural (heaven only knows why) and changed it back to blonde when I started school. Blonde is definitely more me :eek:

You look great Molly. A few weeks ago I also colored my hair the same shade of blonde that yours is. I look so much happier. hahaha

We need a term, akin to "Reaching Twoterville" but for getting under 250. Any ideas? Twoterville and Onederland are just too darned far apart not to Celebrate the midpoint.

How 'bout MidTown!

I like "at the crossroads" but "midtown" has a certain ring to it. I like it!

I like midtown too!!!:biggrin1:

OK, MidTown it is! I love it! Thanks, guys.

So, now that I'm officially under 275 (the "crossroads" between entering Twoterville and reaching MidTown, wink), I'm starting to really think ahead. I guess somewhere along the way I've started to trust the band. That's so weird. I actually believe I'll make it to MidTown and to Onederland. It's put a whole new spin on my life.

I've got a job interview tomorrow that I wouldn't have gone on 3 months ago (mostly because I really do love my current job, but now I just want to keep a few irons in the fire as well and know what's out there).

The boldest move I've made is taking steps toward a relationship with someone I've been interested in for a long time, but have always kept it totally platonic because I felt the time wasn't right. Well, the time may be right soon enough and I've started planting the seeds.

I guess that's it for tonight. Hope all is well with you guys.

That's Exciting! Taking Steps Toward A Relationship Is Big!

I Am Almost At Twoterville Only 4 Lbs Away. I Probably Won't Make Any Steps Intil I Get To Onederland. I Should Feel Comfortable By Then.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
