Holy Moly - I almost never check in here on my laptop - always on mobile and I don't see my ticker there. Today, when I checked in, I realized that I'm already more than halfway to goal!!!!! I really don't know what my goal should be, but picked a weight within normal BMI - so we will see.

To put my journey in Scout terms:

Roses:

-easy surgery and recovery

-gone down several sizes -revisiting long outgrown clothes again

-gotten off all diabetes meds with great control

-will likely be off cholesterol meds once I get my lipid panel done

-been able to CROSS MY LEGS!!!!!

-handled my diet during a Boy Scout camping weekend like a CHAMP!

Thorns:

-constipation! (dealing with it - it's under control)

-saggy pants

-rashes! My WL medical provider wanted to know when I had them so she could document for future skin removal. Um, when do I not have issues???

-my (very supportive) mother's sometimes annoying comments ("This is what I've always DREAMED of for you!")

Buds:

-taking several vacations this year - can't wait to fly without fat girl anxiety

-theme park rides (without above FGA)

-buying a dress for a couple weddings this summer

-figuring out how to clothes shop like a regular person

WOOT!
