Down 40 Pounds! (and a picture update) 


Today it finally happened! The scale dipped enough for me to officially record a loss of 40 lbs.  Hence the cute little Fitbit button I earned.  :)  That's an average of 8 lbs a week since surgery.  I'm feeling proud of the accomplishment.  I know I still have a long road ahead but 40 lbs is no small potatoes.  Just for fun I googled "what does 40 lbs look like" and here are a few pictures that came up:  


Today was a good day.  I met all my Fitbit goals, ate fairly well with no problems and got to spend some time with my family.  Here's an updated side-by-side comparison photo.  

I can really see a difference in this. The photo on the left was taken at the end of the school year, at our frozen yogurt social. I thought I looked good that day. Wow. I'm not going to go back and shame myself for where I was...who I was then but I'm so very thankful for how my mentality has shifted. I feel great and I'm ready for the next chapter of this journey toward better health!
