Almost 18 months out

[julester 16]

So on the 18 th of September I will be 18 months out. I have lost about 120 lbs. I love the new me!! I had been pretty much eating what I wanted for the last year and just lately about 5 lbs crept back up on me. I realized I still didn't love my body! I made the decision that I had to complete the process and finally start looking into plastics. It's so hard to lose all this weight but see the skin hang that constantly reminds you of how fat you once were. I scheduled a TT and breast lift/augment for Oct 3rd. I have taken off the weight that was creeping back up and found that having this date planned has inspired me to lose even more than my goal. I want to be as little as I can before my surgery for better contouring and results. This is the best decision I've ever made and I'm so happy that 18months ago I had the guts to say enough is enough and I loved myself enough to make a choice to live and feel beautiful and strong and healthy! I love my sleeve!

Julester,

congrats on your fab weight loss and maintance... and on your forthcoming sergery ...*goes green with envy*! You must let us know how you get on and some pics???

Any hints on how to get to that all important goal? I am 13mths out and struggling with each and every pound!! I am 17lbs of surgeons goal and just over 30lbs to my ultimate goal!! I would love to get there, but I sometimes wonder if my body is happy where it is even if my head isn't...?

Good luck in Oct! =]
