I was 335lb=152 and my objective to be 154lb=70kg. DO YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE TO LOOSE MORE THAN THE KILOS ON MY OBJECTIVE WEIGHT 82kg!!!!!!!

it's like giving birth to an adult person out of me!!!!!!!!!!
Reading it for the first time kinda shocked me and made me feel so much down that my heart pains :~(

BUT the key here now CHUPPYGIRL is with this tool of your new pouch!
YOU are going to succeed in good time!
TRY to set mini goals for yourself and reward yourself for makeing them!
IT helps then looking at the overall picture.
YOU think a year ago i would have believed i would be down 143 pounds?
nope seemed over whelming !
SOME people only weigh that much! so its like i peeled a normal sized person off me! AND you will do it too
hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
and set those mini goals and have a reward waiting for you when you achieve them!

How true is that? I had to go for an Upper GI because I was having trouble eating solids. The radiologist asked me how much I had lost, and I told her 90 pounds........this was a couple of months ago. She said..........Oh, you lost a whole me. I felt bad at the time, thinking she was rude, but looking back, I don't think she meant to be rude.

It is hard to put into perspective how much "overweight" a person is. I continually hear from people, "Wow, I never thought you had that much to lose." I guess additional weight on our bodies, even if it is the weight of a whole other person, does not look like another person when it is on us.................does that make sense?


So, like others have said.........don't think about where you still have to go. Think about how far you have already come. Your success so far is amazing. S

Good advice..I too am not lookin so far ahead. I cannot imagine me down 140 pounds.....but then....I wasn't expecting to lose 40 lp in two months either.
I started at 310 pounds, an never, never weighed that much before....just to be at 200 seems like a far far away journey. Lets just see how long it takes....hehehe.

Hugs to all of you..you are so good...Chuppy, keep looking ahead...we will get there.

Thank you girls for cheering me up, I'm with you 100% not to look at the WLS as a chunk and segment my target into small baby step achievements. But I'm sorry when I did the mathimatics last night I was OMG! I was about to faint when I saw it for the first time!
Yesterday was a blue day, lots of sad news Doc's Father passed out, I drove 35 km to take Judey to the swiming pool to spend some quality time with her and then she refused to put her toe in the water I was stucked with her I can't leave her outside and jump to the water and do my workout, and hate to see all this attractive water in this heat and not to swim it was okward situation =/ and then it was one of these awful pukey day from morning till the end of the day.
Although hubby tried to cheer me up he tookme for luch outside to the Hard Rock cafe and again I puked there yuck!

I hope today will be better Thanks for lifting my spirits I love ya all :*
