Today as I weighed, it dawned on me that I have about 15 pounds (15.3 to be exact) to get to my goal weight. I’ve known I was sneaking up on it for a while but it kinda struct me a bit more today.
When I was in the 400s and up I could lose 15 pounds in under 2 weeks if I really focused. These days it takes a lot more to lose even a pound, but I estimate if all goes according to plan I should get close to that in 2 months give or take.
Even though every loss is a big deal and a motivator, 15 pounds was a drop in the bucket then. Now though…to think I’m only 15 pounds away from my goal weight just doesn’t seem real.
The body dysmorphia that is common with this surgery and health journey is real. I still see a big flabby, squishy, obese guy. I know a lot of that is loose skin. Still it just doesn’t seem real to think that I’m this close to my real goal!
BTW…that’s NOT me in the photo. 🙂
