I've Got a Plan!

Ok, I studied the calendar and put my thinking cap on. I think this will work! Three shortish sessions: late autumn, early winter, and spring. Then I think that ought to be it, Lord willin' and the scale don't rise!

The beauty part is I can back date my injections and go on Stabilization on Thanksgiving Day. Then I'll be all clear for some special Christmas meals. Then in the dead of winter, I can do it again, then be done for March Mayhem. Then after that, do another one at my leisure in the spring, around the proposed travel schedule (come on, back--you can do it!). That'd maybe be another 60. Hard to say. I can't picture what that amount of weight gone would look or feel like. I'd like to find out!

I'm hoping to maintain, though I've not been as strict as I'd like. But heck, it's not easy recovering from surgery #607. I'm not losing my mind, though. At least I don't think I am. But how would I know if I were? :)

I do think there's a lot of merit to this going slowly. Even though it's not really slow if you just take it in months. Six months ago I weighed nearly 70# more than now. Long periods of losing nothing with short periods of accelerated weight loss. Maintanance is the key for me now. Think long term. Long term. Long. Term.
