"I am changing. ...I am leaving my past behind."

When it comes to thinking about the amount of weight I have to loose, I get incredibly overwhelmed and, for me, that leads to self-defeat and stress eating.  It may be one of the reasons I am struggling with my emotions and fears these days.  I have tried to keep my eyes on smaller goals.  It works better for my mind.  Dr. Buchin told me I had to loose weight before the surgery and I set a goal to loose 25 pounds.  I am now 3 pounds away from that goal, but more importantly, my BMI dropped 6 points!  Oh, yeah! 

<insert Veronica doing happy dance here!>

Hey, a 6 six point drop in the BMI may not be a big deal for others, but for me, someone who falls into the "super-obese" category, it feels really good.

I just wanted to share this with the group....

Yeah for me!   Cool

I am changing, gonna get my life together now
I am changing, yes, I know how
I'm gonna start again, I'm leaving my past behind
I'll change my life-I'll make a vow
And nothing's gonna stop me now...

It is definitely worth celebrating! I remember going to my second support group meeting, when I was just beginning my journey, and someone announced they went from "super-obese" to just plain obese. And at that time I thought how wonderful it would be to be able to say that. Hopefully, soon I will be, and so will YOU!!  Glad to see you're feeling better. Every day is a struggle, but its worth it!
CONBGRATULATIONS!!!

The battle isn't over until you stop fighting.

I'll tell you what I tell myself every day.   This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon.  Results take time but every step taken is one step closer to the finish line.   Keep lifting those feet, don't give up, and we'll all meet after the race for some crystal light and sugar free ice pops.
