WOW Moments?
I don't think I have enough pants to keep up with this weight loss!
I wore these slacks last week that I wore when I was thinner. They fit me fine. Then I put them back on again today now my butt & thighs are swimming in all the extra fabric!
Then there is a pair of black jeans I bought last winter. I bought them without trying them on and I had a major 'muffin-top' when I put them on at home. I never wore them.
Not only do they fit, I can pull them off without unbuttoning them.
Oh, and this guy in the elevator keeps giving me 'the look'. Too bad he's not cute.
Hi, Monica! Muffin top... Never heard that before but it is so "fitting"! I think I'm going to try Goodwill soon. I've never been able to find large sizes there but, I'm almost in an 18, so...maybe! This is a prob when you have to kinda dress for the office. But, I am so THANKFUL to have it! Take care and CONGRATS! Jean
I hadn't been seeing the scales move and was getting pretty worried but my co-workers keep telling me how much I'm "shrinking". They've nicknamed me the incredible shrinking woman. I went home asked my hubby for an honest opinion and he said he saw the loss too. So I went to the dreaded full length mirror looked in and for the 1st time saw a new me. My newly ordered SMALLER work shirts were hanging down off me like a Moo-Moo dress and my shorts looked like a tent. Unfortunately this wasn't untill I returned from back to school night at my daughter's high school where I met her teachers, friends and their parents. Oh well, I'll take embarassment like this any day.
I Am Stronger Than Myself

clothes look like I'm swimming in them, gone from a 26W (tight) to a 22w loose, almost comfortable 18W in 2 months.
people notice and say how proud they are of me.....my new alter ego is named "Skinny Me" (rather than Mini-Me)
starting to look not as bad in my swim suit
more energy, better sex life, and not winded/sweaty after general activity (flight of stairs, walking to mailbox, cleaning house, etc.)
A 'wow' moment for me is that I can wear size 16's now!!!
My highest size was 24, surgery day I was 22 and now, almost 2 months later, I am a 16!!!
Tomorrow (9/18) is my 2 month surgiversary and I am hoping to be under 200 pounds. 199 is my goal. I hope that I make it! Please, please, please!!!!
Congrats on everyone's 'wow' moments! Keep up the good work!!!!
