7 Month Bandiversary
Perspective. I need to remember perpective today. It's been 7 months (yesterday) since I was over 270 pounds and banded... But, I'm annoyed. I'm up with my weight again. Not a huge amount, but enough that it is worrying me - especially since I'm loose. But, I'm running/walking, and exercising. So I'm going to keep focusing on my intake (water and protein / food amount) and ignore the scale for a few days. Clothes are fitting looser. Hopefully there is the whole "building muscle" thing going on. I am so hopeful that I'll be able to get to 75 pounds by the end of the year, and at the worst, by my year anniversary. More than that would of course be great, but I think that is a reasonable goal. That is a bit less than 20 pounds away, and 3 or 5 months depending on which date I am looking at. That is my "acceptable" weight goal. But, by then I will also have done my first 5k and hopefully be running a full length of one. What a wild 7 months it's been, but also some of the happiest I've had. So that is good. And remembering the big picture is most important, as I'm getting healthier every day. So happy 7 month bandiversary!

Sarah- you are doing great and are such an inspiration. Keep focused on your goals and you will get there - you have proven that already!
Sarah ~ You are doing good and have a great perspective! Congrats on the 5K! ;-)
Sarah- You are so right on the prespective part..you have already made a tremondous amount of success and are looking great. I bet it's muscle and it will all balance out in the long run. Keep at it & it will all pay off !!
Sarah, look at how far you've come! I can truly empathize with the frustration of maintaining or gaining when you're working so hard at it...but this plateau will eventually drop off to reveal even more weight loss. You've been a true motivation to me since I've found your blog!
I hear ya re: perspective. When everything is ticking along for me like it "should" I am able to see the big picture, but after a couple of days of being and feeling stuck or off track I start to question myself.
But as an outsider looking in what I see is how committed you are, how much progress you've made and how much you've changed.
I bet you will make your anniversary goal.
Happy Anniversary, you are doing very well!
What can I say? You are amazing and a huge inspiration!
