6 Months Out

Well I am a few days late but 6 months has come and gone. First of all I feel better then I have in years and I have had no complications. 91 lbs are gone forever and I am not looking back. This was the best decision I have ever made for myself and my only regret is I didn't do this 8 years ago when my weight started to skyrocket. I haven't done my measurements yet but I will post them in a blog when I do. I went to Ross and bought myself a cute little sundress in an XL thinking that it would fit by summer and to my surprise it fits perfect already. I am still a 4XL in my head so I need to learn to accept the fact that I am shrinking. I hope that anyone waiting to make this choice reads this and realizes that this can be you too. 6 months ago I was the girl reading the six month update post and thinking can this really be true and here I am living it.. For any newbies out there if you have any questions please feel free to send me a message I am an open book.

Congrats dear,
you have done amazing I cant wait to hear more of your adventures in weight loss.

Congratulations on a job well done!  I can totally relate to the fact that my mind has not caught up to reality...I still don't comprehend what 'size' I am...in body size or clothing LOL  Keep up the hard work..and claim all the credit!  YOU did the work!!

Wow, you are an inspiration. I am having my surgery in 3 days and getting really scared. Reading yours and other positive stories helps me to remember the reason I'm doing this. Congrats again!

Hello ,

I just decided to check out OH and was so excited to see a post from you. You are doing great! Congratulations on your awesome weight loss.  I am doing the same thing as you. When I go into the store I am looking in the large size women section. I don't fit there anymore.  I think it will be an adjustment to get our minds around our new bodies. I still have a ways to go. About thirty pounds. I am feeling so great, This was so worth it. Judy (from Options)
