Month 3 Photo Comparison

Month 3 was definitely an interesting one. Lots of stalls. Relatively slow weight loss compared to what I still have to lose but still it went down. For the month I lost 12lbs meaning that I am down 72lbs since surgery. I am very happy with the overall loss but have to admit that I was hoping for a little more this month. It's hard to change the all or nothing mentality after years and years of dieting failure I guess. The good news is that I am handling it a lot better than I thought I was ever capable of. The reality is that going back to bad habits, falling off the wagon just is not an option. If I do so I would be horribly sick. I am more scared of that reaction than I am of gaining weight again... hmmm... maybe this surgery was a good idea :)

So now to the photos. I have realized that depending on how your monitor is configured you will see these differently so inevitably the writing ends up in the wrong place. I have no idea how to fix that so I am going to simply say that the four photos represent Pre-surgery (350lbs), Month 1 (-42lbs) ;Month 2 (-60lbs) and Month 3 (-72lbs). There is not much of a visible difference between months 2 and 3 but I am down another size. Yay - wearing jeans with no holes!
