Hard to believe 2 months has cruised on by already!

I put the morning of surgery pic up next to my 2 month pic last night and my initial reaction was "wow, was I really that big?". Seriously, I don't think I really ever saw it. I mean, I knew obviously because of my size 24 pants, but I don't think I understood how "puffy" I was. ugh!

So things that happened this past month:

*I realized my kids clean off my plate now vs. me cleaning off their plate! (not at every meal, but it did happen and I was like WOW, what a turn of events)
*I bought a size Large shirt and size 18 pants on the 75% off rack at Macy's last week and cried tears of joy in the dressing room! That moment was when I finally SAW my progress.
*I had an outdoor event to go to with my oldest son and I went to put my snowpants on & they were way too big!!! yippeee!
*At said outdoor event, I spent 5 hours outside participating in snow races, etc. and had a blast with my son! I got a little winded but nothing like before. And it reminded me that I was ALIVE!!!
*I'm officially down 40 pounds.
*My blood sugar has been in the normal range! WOOT!!! Cannot wait for my A1C re-check next month to see how the number is.
*My mom said she better be careful or I'll be shopping from her closet pretty soon.  (she's a size 10)
*My sister said "I can tell your losing weight in your mid-section because your boobs are sticking out!" - LMAO!!! (I'm not telling her about the LB Balconette bra's! haha)

And I'm sure there are many more that I'm not recalling right this moment, but it's been a fun ride this past month.

I still find that I'm not hungry most of the time so sometimes I forget to eat and that is so odd to me and I always thought you were all crazy when you'd say that, but dang, it's true!

So, onto the pics. First one is surgery morning. Second one was last night, 2 months.

You look fantastic!!  What an amazing transformation!!  You keep up the great work!

I, too, was in a size 24 n surgery day.  I don't think I'm anywhere near an 18  yet, but I'm getting there!  I KNOW I'm not in a large top!  LOL  Still too much going on up there for a large!

By the way.. I simply LOVE your haircut!  That is so cute!  Do you have vey thick hair?  Mine is super duper fine and bone straight.  Makes it tough to find a good style that's easy to take care of!

You look great already!  Thanks for posting - it's so encouraging to see and hear from everyone who had surgery in December.
