Losing weight is great!  I have reached my first two goals of fitting in my wedding dress and not having to shop in the plus size section.  This has created a whole new shopping addiction.  I try not to buy because I still have a lot more to lose.  I am almost halfway!  There is transition phase from wearing a plus size to being able to shop anywhere you want.  Which is amazing to me!!  Not having to look for the "Womens" or "Plus" sections.  I still find myself looking for that section even though I don't need it.  Habit I guess.  A good friend told me to visualize a goal.  A number.  Maybe a goal weight or a size.  I would love to be a size 6 but that even seems wierd to type.  I guess being a size 8 would be great.  Not sure what weight that would put me at.  At least 60 lbs which is about where I want to be.  I am so happy I decided to have the sleeve surgery.  The only bad thing that I can say is that my hair has gotten sooooo thin.  Most people I talk to have had the same and say it will grow back in.  I sure hope so but if it means thin me thin hair.  So be it.  It has been worth it just to be where I am.  I have so much more energy and feel so much better.  I am doing a little yoga and pilates and I love it.  Hopefully that will help with the plateaus I keep hitting.  Losing weight sure is not easy....it is a neverending battle.  I just keep going...what else can you do?  Everyday is a new day!
