Size 12P: Here I come!

So, weight loss has slowed down. But my enthusiasm is still there. I went to my doctor this week and was going to have him put more fill in my band and he suggested that we wait. He was pleased with my weight loss and told me that I have done in six months what it takes most people to do in a year and that is to loose 50% of their excess body weight. YEAH!! He also said looser is better than being too tight. He said that if I am on the tighter side I may eat more "softer proteins" vs "hard proteins". He said that if you fill up on soft cheese, protien drinks instead of meat and hard cheese, that you have a tendancy to eat every 2 hours instead of every 4-5 hours.

I am struggling with my self image. I am having difficulties envisioning myself as smaller than I am at this time. Last week I found some clothes on-line and started to order them in my current size or a little larger.... I took the dive and ordered medium and petite size 12. I was thrilled to put the P12 jeans and and am wearing them today, because they actually fit! Last night I tried the size M dress on. Granted it is stretchy but it fits! I am so looking forward to wearing it.

The scale is starting to move again, but having these non-scale victories are just as rewarding. I am looking forward to the next few months ahead and am determined to loose the majority of my "excess body weight" before my one year anniversary in April, 2010.
