I have been so discouraged with myself in the last few weeks because I have had that "I'm not good ENOUGH" feeling. Every three weeks I go back to the New U clinic to see if I need to get my Lap Band adjusted. I was devastated because I had only lost 6.5 pounds even though I knew going in that most people only lose 1-2 pounds a weeks and some even less than that, I wasn't happy with my progress. As I started talking to the exercise physiologist he became my favorite person in the world. He said to me that in the diet before the surgery and the 2 months since I have lost more weight than most people do in 7 months!!! Now if that didn't make me feel better, I don't know what would! It is amazing to me that what I thought was a failure was something amazing to someone else. We are way to hard on ourselves!!!!!! So, in case you were wondering I am at 58 pounds ,and counting!!!!

58 pounds is great! My biggest challenge in losing weight is being patient. I want it all off in one day, but we all know that is not realistic. Awesome job!
