LARGE really???? WOW
OK so I HAVE to have my husband take some pics of me!
I bought 3 new dresses in size....LARGE...this coming from someone who was a xxl, 2, 2x , 18/20... I'm a 14/16 and a LARGE. HUUUUUGE accomplishment. And I am loving the way I look but most of all the spectacular way I FEEL!!!! YAY! I have gotten so many compliments from friends, family and co-workers and I've learned to finally say "thank you" instead of "yeah well I still need to lose more" etc and in reality, what I was doing was not accepting the compliment and putting myself down. I am happy and I feel like the real Michelle is here now...not hiding under 55+ lbs of fat, increasingly poor health and misery. I know my mom, who passed 10 yrs ago from high bp causing a massive stroke, would be proud. I don't want to die at 39 because of my health like my mommy unfortunately did. I want to stay alive...and I am working to do that!
My arthritis is being a pain these days, my right ankle is acting up again... little jerk! I take Mobic which is a prescription anti-inflammatory and 1 of 2 that are ok to take post-RNY. It's working like it should, but I was hoping to stay off of it. Only been back on it for a couple wks as needed. My fibromyalgia has been behaving. So that is a major plus.
I am down to 203! I started this whole journey at 258. 55 pound loss, yes FIFTY FIVE in 2 mos. I am trying to lose 20-25 more, then I will probably begin maintenance. I DO NOT want to be really thin, i want to keep my curves, just smaller ones... I think a 12/14 is good for me.I am honestly big boned and 5' 8" so I don't want to be a stick figure. lol
I am so so so glad I had RNY.
Good luck to you all...I will get pics up ASAP.Going to my bro's graduation party tomorrow where I will see relatives I haven't seen in 4ish yrs! Wait till they see me! They haven't met my 2 1/2 yr old son either or seen my husband since his 100 lb weight loss. We are like strangers! lol lol Talked to my Grandma today who hasn't seen me since my 30 lb loss...another 25 now...she is going to be shocked. I need to make sure I am wearing something super cute hahaha one of my new dresses for sure with heels!! yay! Now I love fashion even more (my husband hasn't said one word about me shopping since I sold a ton of clothes on ebay and made $300 from it...try it! )
