Walking on a little Sunshine

I had a Lap Band appointment yesterday. It was sorta routine and sorta to be evaluated for a fill. I didn't think I was losing too much since the last adjustment, although emotionally was feeling awesome. So imagine my surprise when at my weigh-in I weighed 8 lbs less! This was really the first time I felt I was seeing concrete results. In fact, it's a little frustrating since I seem to lose it in spurts. After discussing with my Dr. how I was feeling and how much I was eating and when, we decided to give another 0.2 cc a shot. And so far, it's not bad. I will probably need another 0.2 in another week or 2 weeks.

Imagine my shock when I went down yet another size (from 18 to 16). I am now, if not at, then LESS than what I weighed at my wedding over 9 years ago! I wasn't completely convinced this was working, but now I believe it. Man, do I believe it. It is very scary for me. It changes just about everything in your life.

It has changed the way I walk, the way I shop, the way I talk to people, the way I think, the way I raise my daughter, the way I am a wife, how I work, how I play, how I want to take advantage of what life has to offer. I can't imagine what it will feel like when I lose 50 more lbs, but I can't wait...

Dama, por fin se ven resultados... todo llega. Pero tengo que decirte, te veo tan radiante en las fotos, no es el peso, es la forma en que miras, un brillo nuevo en tu mirada. Estoy tan contenta por ti. Y aunque no lo creas, y te sirva de algo saberlo. Eres inspiradora... por favor, no dejes de escribir.
