Thanks for your videos. I know I am a year or two behind but gosh spot on. These videos are exactly how I'm feeling right now. We also started out at about the same weight and we are losing at about the same rate week by week. So it's fun for me to follow your journey as I am on my own. Thanks.
I've got so much love and admiration for you! You are amazing, you look amazing, you're doing amazing and those boots are AH-MAZEING (said in Skotti's voice).
I just want to give you such a big hug right now! It is such a huge emotional challenge, working through all this weight loss. You have earned it, you deserve it, and who you are NOW is an amazing person - you've always BEEN amazing under whatever weight you were, and you always will be. Because you're YOU, and you care about people, have a great heart and want the best for yourself and the world.
Love those boots (I don't know what cool words the kids are using either because I'm old too) LOL! That pound will be off next week. Don't sweat it (or well you could sweat it... through exercise) :) It will happen, not a failure but a bump along the way. This was a great video. I have also been thinking about who I will be/be like when I am at goal. I imagine I will still be me but more confident. You will figure it all out and everything will come together, just keep being the wonderful person you are. :)
+Killing Fat Aimee with VSG LOL. I am so glad I am not the only one who doesn't know what the kids are into these days. It happens to the best of us. You are right that I need to view this week as a bump in the road - the goal after all, is progress, not perfection, right? Thanks for such nice comments! We got this thing. :)
Hey lady....You are still doing great... and you know it! Your mixture of choices are common for all of us. You crazy shopper you. Yes, some things are changing.... but with change come opportunity... for you to experience what makes you feel complete or at least happy on the inside. Don't forget... WLS is not about what you lose, it's about what you have to gain. Hang in there! :)
+Skotti RNY Thanks Skotti! I've always appreciated how positive you are in the face of the dramatic changes you are experiencing - so proud of you, man! Definitely a great role model. :)
1 pound doesn't constitute failure! You're doing great and I hope you come to the conclusions about yourself that you're seeking and begin to live this new life to the fullest. I look forward to witnessing it!
+VSG For The Real Me Thanks! One step at a time, right? I've had decades to get used to the old me - asking my brain to switch gears in 5 months is a tall order - I am going to work on being patient with myself! Excited about the future for sure - mine and yours!
You can say recommitted as many times as you want!! I love hearing it! Happy week after Thanksgiving! Size 12?!?! YIPPEE!!! Those boots are the Bomb Diggedy! (don't care what the kids say- it's MY saying! ;-)) I bought 3 vests today at Costco... yep THREE.... It's only a problem if you admit it ;-) Glad to hear you appreciate the girl you were. Those girls got us here. She still is inside you- but I think it's important to love who you are now. I too am struggling a little to "see" the person I am now. But I'll get there and so will you
+Cartwheel Vsg Howdy girl! I love that we both love the shopping - just making sure I keep within budget. Looking forward to getting to know the new me and you better!
What a great video Amy. It is a very good question... who are we when we are not just the fat person anymore? That is something to ponder and discover isn't it? I like to think it will be things like confidence, self love, energy... You are an amazing person Amy!!

You are so welcome. Glad to know this resonates with you (always nice to hear), and good luck on your path!

+VSGinny Thanks Ginny! You are amazing at compliments. Seriously. :P I think we all deserve this. P.s. Your hair on your birthday night? KNOCKOUT.
OMG hair compliments are the best ever! LOL! Thank you, thank you. :D If only I could do that more often, haha. Too much work. ;)
