This is a big, if not HUGE milestone and major target for me . . .I know I still have a long way to go and there will be people thinking wow you were HOW heavy when you started . . but . . .today, on my weekly weigh in I'd lost another 4lbs and have come into the teens . . .
The last time I went below the 20st mark was when I was on lighterlife 5 years ago, and actually went down to 17 ~ however, it made me so physically ill that I had to stop doing it and the weight went back on, plus another few stone . . .
But, today, I hit my Xmas target of losing 4 stone, not only am I a teen
but I've also hit my target 6 1/2 weeks early 
:character00100:
But while I've lost over 4 stone now, (am 11 weeks post op today) my head and mind is taking ages to catch up and so are the wardrobe changes lol even tho I feel the differences, I don't see them, I'm still wearing clothes and tops that are 3/4 sizes too big . . .only seeing myself in a full length mirror yesterday for the first time since surgery I was actually shocked to see my clothes literally hanging . . .and yet, when I think of myself I don't think of myself as being smaller . . .its all rather bizarre.
However, I am loving the healthy choices my band is giving me, the choices I make in the foods that I eat or do not. I am learning the difference between the real hunger and the "head hunger" and I have most certainly learnt a lot in relation to my own eating habits and changing them in positive ways. Although it took me 7 years to have this surgery done, I actually totally understand that before, I was actually never really ready for it . . .that I wasn't in the right place to have it done.
But, YAY! I'm a teen (not in age unfortunately tho) :8855:
