Friday, July 9th

Well, as of today I am down 68 lbs. That is so hard for me to believe. I now weigh less than 260 lbs., and to be honest I can't remember the last time I weighed less than 260. The last time I remember weighing around 260 was about 14-15 years ago. Seems like this week my loss has been a little faster than in recent weeks. I am reminded that this procedure is just a tool, as last weekend I had some homemade ice cream and I can't lie.....I LOVED IT! I did dump on it just a little, but I found myself eating quite a bit of it. When our family had our July 4th picnic last week I also ate three different desserts, but they were just "very small" slivers of each and I did fine with them. Oh! I just remembered I also had a piece of Marissa's birthday cake with the ice cream. Looking forward to the weekend!
