6 month surgiversary today WOW

Where has time gone?  6 months ago today I was 59.6 lbs heavier and 37.75 inches wider.  Today I'm 174.4

It's been a ride of ups and downs, new discoveries, frustrations and WOW moments, tears and laughter, trying to see the me that everyone else does (physically from the outside)  and so on.  Would I do it again?  HELL YES...My only regret....no doing it sooner.

I still have a long way to go.  AS of today I am 24.4 lbs from goal...may seem like a little to some...but for me it seems like I'm an ant trying to climb a huge mountain...it's not easy - but I'm determined to make it.  It's funny, in this WL journey you have stalls and then drops...3 weeks ago I was 9.4lbs heavier than I am today.  Seemed like the scale would never move, then over the last few days....BOOM....I must say I have been eating ALOT better and exercising my butt off, drinking my water and consistantly taking my vits/mins...as well as ensuring that I am getting in all my protein.

Here's to another 6 months ...and my hopes is to be at goal long before that time...which will be my 1 year surgiversary.

WOW moment - walking into the room last night where my husband, daughter and 11 y/o son were sitting. I, of course, had on a new outfit that I found at Marshalls and wanted their opinion....My husband was like DAMMMNNNN, you look good. My son says....mom, SINCE YOU GOT SKINNY (who me??? I'm SKINNY in HIS eyes now OMGosh... ),you are a DIVA.  I'm like what does that mean...he said "you always have on nice clothes now".  I said is that what DIVA means....he said yeah.  SHUCKS, I thought I had nice clothes before...but kids will not lie...so I guess in his eyes, they weren't nice....probably just BIG...

Congratulations and Happy 6 month surgiversary!!!!
