Goal 4: 1st centennial - loose 100 lbs/45 kg
Today, weighing day, and I managed to get rid of 4.4 lbs/2 Kg! It was not an easy week, I still had more chocolate than I should. But I managed to give it a proper place.
I have been rethinking the format for my blog, and almost decided to no longer write down what I eat a day, figuring it was not really handy for anyone else. But I just know that is NOT a smart idea. I have not written many days during the december month and it has taken me well up to 8 weeks to contain the damage - worth something like 20 lbs/8 KG.
Next week provided I lose 2,2lbs/1.1 KG, all is as it was on 14 november 2007. And from then on it is all hands on deck and battlestations. Willow is on a war path fighting bad eating habits, and unhealthy food.
Today I did something very brave. I have always stated "I will not have an operation to correct my stomach and belly". Today I phoned my health insurance company to ask if these costs are covered by my health insurance.
Appearantly, if I go to my GP, who then sends me to a specialist, who writes the request, includes a photograph, AND my BMI is below 30 - as in less than 95 KG/209.4 lbs, they will take it into consideration. AND as I KNOW that I will get there, I now also know what is possible.
It means losing another 86 lbs, and I have lost 85.7 already! See, it can be done!
I will do some more research into this kind of operation. Any one with information, feel free to comment. I would LOVE to hear, the good, the bad, the pretty AND the ugly.

I think you are wise to recognize what works for you, Willow. I tend to look for the narrative when I blog visit, but I know there are other people who are curious as to what a successful weight loser such as yourself is actually putting into her mouth and when. But this blog is not about US - it's about YOU. So if noting your food helps you keep yourself accountable to yourself - DO IT!
As for the tummy tuck (as we call the stomach correction surgery), I don't really know much. It is a major surgery and there can be complications, so if you do consider doing this, make sure your doctor is someone with a great reputation in this area. I also always said I would never do such a thing, but as I see myself developing an apron of skin where the fat used to hold it out, I wonder if I wasn't too hasty in saying that. I'll see how I feel when I reach goal weight, but I'm a lot more open minded about it now than I was before.
I was just looking at your first picture and comparing it to your later pictures and you know, you look like a different person. It's not just the weight, but the attitude in your face. The jeans picture shows this especially well - like you are saying, "I'm here and I'm strong and I'm wonderful!"
Firstly, if it helps you to write things everyday on your blog, then you should do it - it's your blog after all.
Secondly, with regard to the stomach operation, if you were going to go down that route, I would recommend you have lost all the weight you are going to and have been stable for at least 6 to 9 months first.
Once you have lost over 150lbs, you are likely to have excess skin. If you have the operation too early then you could lose more weight and still have a skin problem.
Also, unless you can be sure that your weight has stabalised your operation could be a waste of time.
Those are my thoughts anyway :)
Joke, is that you? Anon, anon....and keep me guessing!!

Dear Sayre and Kim,
Thanks for the input. very sound advice, both about blogging and the operation!
Kim, I would never have thought about it, but you are of course very right.According to my insurance I should have a BMI of 30 or less. That means I will have to lose at least 182 lbs....so in excess of the 150 lbs you mentioned. I will then have halved my weight.
and so once again patience is the KEY *smiles warmly and hugs* A good lesson for me.
I am sure my GP would have told me so at the designated time (I was planning to go in about 8 or 9 months time) but this way at least it will not be a huge disappointment, having to wait that long extra.
I am really warming up to this idea. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
