Wow, what a year!
I had my yearly followup, one year to the day, Oct. 23rd. WOW WOW WOW. I have lost 88% of my excess weight. The doc was just pleased a*****h! My body fat index is 16%, although I am still fairly high in the weight dept, currently 185. That is a direct result of exercise. I cannot emphasize the benefits of exercise enough. He said I was ready to pursue plastics anytime. "Lauri, there is very little fat left, its all skin now" WHAT??? ME??? Yes, I can tell, my clothes sizes have dropped dramatically the last month, even though I lost very little weight. Gosh, I am in a solid size 12. I bought a beautiful form fitting skirt in a size 10 today. It looked beautiful on. I cant wait to wear it somewhere! LOL I get a kick out of telling people my size now. They get this little look of surprise.... I hear and bask in their comment...gosh, that is the size I am! My other wow today, I bought a size 6 undies. This from a former 420 pound size 14 undie gal. Still shaking my head in disbelief, that it is really me. I am so shocked to see how slim I am getting. I dont really notice to much until I go shopping. And I cant seem to take my eyes off myself when Im trying on clothes. Thats sounds so self indulgent, egotistical, self absorbed. But good golly, it is such a thrill! Anywho, I had a fabulous appt. My new sizes give me the motivation to stick with my exercise/diet plan. Heck, who knows where this will take me.
I loved getting everyones cards this month. It was such a treat to open the mailbox, and have one waiting for me. Thank you all for letting me participate. It was so much fun!
