Just happy today...

I'm just so happy with my tummy tuck. I finally found jeans to fit me and I feel great in them (Levi's 505). I was so happy that I could wear them in a size 4, but my friends at work told me I need to find them in a size 2 because they are too loose!! That's just insane. I looked into it, but guess what? I'm wearing the smallest size that's made!! Can you believe it? I just have such trouble wrapping my head around that. I love being able to tuck my shirts in and to wear a belt. I haven't done that for 29 years! The only thing that spoils my joy is that I did not have a lbl so if I'm not careful, the skin can muffin-top out the back of my jeans. I hate that look. Randy just cannot stomach me having another surgery so I'll have to live with it for awhile. This journey has been very stressful for him. Hope you all have a wonderful day! Wanda

Wow Wanda! That is just terrific! you s k i n n y lil' thing you! congrats, Britt

I'm only small on the bottom. Some of my tops are still 10-12! Makes buying a dress or a skirt set impossible. I love your new avitar! I'm so sick of mine. I need a change! You've inspired me to take a new picture!

thanks Wanda! Well you have DD's my dear the girls require a bit more room. can't wait to see you new avatar!

That's great! WooHoo, Wanda. I can't imagine being in a size 4, much less a size 2! That's awesome. You have done so well with your surgery and sticking to your diet plan and exercise. You and Brit and CeCe are all inspirations and motivators to me. I know what you mean about wrapping your head around it. I still feel like I look like I'm 200+ lbs. I guess that's one of the demons that will live with us for a long time. But you look great so congratulations and keep up the good work! Susan

Dang! Look at you! What a great picture. You are soooo beautiful, girl! Yes--those demons are still with us. Today was my first day back at the Body Definition class. I was in the back row feeling like the 50 year-old fat woman. The sea of pretty young women in front of me didn't help the way I was feeling. But then I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and realized that I wasn't so out of place after all. I was actually thinner than some of them! I was still older than they were, but I could keep up with the instructor even though I hadn't stepped foot in the gym for over two months! Let's vow to love ourselves more and to be kinder to ourselves this year
