Slowly but SURELY!

I weighed myself this week and I LOST .8 pounds (.36 kilograms)... I have lost a total of 68.6 pounds (31.12 kilograms) in 38 weeks. Well I was hoping for a bit more, HOWEVER, my LOVELY AUNT FLOW decided to pay a visit and she always affects my weigh in, LOL...I could look at this in one of two ways: I can be pissed off or I can count it as a success as I keep losing and I will take whatever victory I can get. I opt for the latter, simply because, I AM LOVING my life at the moment..I feel GREAT, and my clothes are falling off of me, even the new ones I just bought are big on me.

I had a great compliment given to me by my hair stylist...she said that she had to do a DOUBLE TAKE when I walked into her shop this weekend..I ALMOST CRIED with HAPPY TEARS! I have to say that I had a little stumble that day...My car broke down and I had to bring it to the shop on Saturday and I did not get to eat ANYTHING until 2:30pm and I was up since 8am! That NEVER HAPPENS, and unfortunately when I walked into the shop, the smell of CHOCOLATE DELICIOUSNESS BECKONED ME and I stumbled..I had 4, that's right 4 chocolate covered concoctions for breakfast! So considering that, once again, I will TAKE the .8 pounds! No matter what kind of weight loss journey you are on, if you get yourself to that ravenous state, it is very UNLIKELY that you will make a GOOD food choice! Thankfully the band only allowed me to have 4 cookies, because pre-surgery, I probably would have had AT LEAST a Baker's dozen (13)!!!!

Well I have one more weigh in in 2010 and I REALLY REALLY want to reach 70 pounds lost..I am soooo close... only 1.4 pounds (.64kg) away! Wish me luck, say a prayer as this weekend is CHristmas and I have 2 gatherings to attend...Also, I have 13 more weigh ins until my 1 year anniversary since teh surgery and I would LOVE to break the 100 pound mark (a total of 45.46 kg) but hey, ONE DAY AT A TIME!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL, PEACE ON EARTH & GOOD WILL TOWARDS MEN...ALWAYS, ALWAYS! Thanks for reading, until next time!
