I Love the Scale

Today is 5 weeks since the surgery.  I just got on the scale.  I can't get used to it being less and less every time I get on.

Minus 38 lbs. and counting.

Amazing.

Last night I watched a show called "How I Lost 100 Pounds" on Discovery Health.  There were three different stories.  One girl touched me though....she was me.  It was amazing to watch a complete stranger go through the same life as me.  Chubby kid that ballooned in adulthood due to a food addiction.  The only difference was she got the lap band rather than the bypass.  And, after losing 103 lbs. she had a body tuck to remove the 4.6 lbs. of excess skin that was hanging off of her torso.  I don't have the money for that sort of thing, so whatever is left hanging will just have to hang there.  I have no plans to ever wear a bikini anyway!
