Culling my Closet

I just came back from my surgeon's office (I go there to get my "official" weight) and I am now 1.2lbs away from losing 100lbs since my highest weight of 430 and I am 84.2lbs down from surgery!! And my 3 month anniversary is tomorrow!!!!

I am just so grateful....I am happy to say that my BMI is now 49.1 down from 63.3....so I went from "Super Obese" to a more slender ""Extremely Obese!" hahaha WHATEVER!!! I just know I feel better and I have a more positive outlook on my future. Just yesterday I went to Wal-Mart and bought myself NEW underwear...it is the little things that make my day, now if I only had a couple pairs of pants that fit me...in time.

I am going to go through everything in my closet and drawers this week and if anyone in the South Jersey/Philly area is interested I would be thrilled to pass along some of the things I can't wear anymore. Most of the stuff is size 3x (30/32) but a few things must be bigger as I know I was bigger than 30/32 in August.  I also am sure I was clothed during that month...although things were starting to fit like sasuage casings. hahaha

I also have a lot of clothing from a friend, who had the RnY, and she had a lot of "business" type clothes. I am more of a sweats and casual type clothing person...cotton as aposed to Rayon and Poly! Just drop me a note and I would be happy to share what I have....otherwise it is just going to go to Goodwill or the Purple Heart. I am willing to drive 60 minutes from my house which is anywhere from Newark, DE to Trenton, NJ and from Atlantic City, NJ out to Coatsville or Perkasie.

Eileen,
Congratulations on your weight loss!  Keep up the good work!

Eileen - Gosh all I can say is Congrats.  You are doing a great job!  Keep up the good work - there is more to come.  I was so happy to take off what I did.  I was at 425 and found that after I shunk to half of me life was even better.  Enjoy life!

Sorry I can't use the clothes...But I am sure there is someone out there that can..thank you for posting them!

Eileen, Congradulations on your weightloss. If you are interested we have a very good support group at Victory Fellowship Church in New Castle. Since you are not far away we would love to have you and your friend join us on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7pm. I would love to hear how your surgery is compared to us who have had RNY and Lapband. As for your clothing there is always someone at a support group who can use them. My first year and a half all my clothing came from hand me downs. I really enjoyed that. Since I was 263 lbs at 12 years old I never experienced the hand me downs the kids today complain about. Best of luck and I hope we meet you soon. See you lighter. Joanne

Congrats on your weight loss . Continue to saver these moments, stay positive and continue to share all your milestones because this encourages those who have had the surgery and others who are considering this big step. Take care and continue to stay on the only losers bench anybody wants to be on!
