On My Way! ;-)

I am down a wonderful 27 pounds today. I got my 25 pounds anchor and my 10% key chain today at my meeting. I was pretty stress about my inability to 'name' my ultimate goal, so I stayed after my meeting to talk to my leader Becky about it. She said it was totally ok for me to take this journey 1 milestone at a time and to choose my lifetime goal when I was ready. So my new goal is 50 pounds, which would be when I receive my next WW milestone, the 50 pound anchor. I am hoping to meet my 50 pound goal by October 3rd, when we take our next vacation during fall break.

So we all know I was leaning toward gastric but still totally on the fence. Since my BMI is now 40.2, I am borderline for not even qualifying for the surgery! Something about typing those words feels completely awesome! I am beginning to believe in my ability to do this...all on my own. The remaining weight I still have to lose it still COMPLETELY daunting, but I know I will get there someday!
