8 Month Update with pic!

So, it has been 8 months and I am down about 110 pounds or more...I have not weighed in a few days. I went from a size 26 to a loose fitting 18. Wearing 1 x tops. I should be in a 16 soon. I am down to my smallest size in YEARS. This picture is with me wearing the same scrubs I wore 7 years ago at the weight of 220. It is falling off of me. This leads me to believe that I am prolly smaller now than I was 7 years ago when this fit just right. I weigh around 230 so my extra skin must be making up the weight difference. Anyway, I am running out of old clothes bins to pull from. Soon I will have to really go shopping. LOL. Poor me.

I really am living my life and loving it too. It has been rough getting here and adjusting to the changes that go with this surgery but it is so worth it. I feel so free. Free from the fat prison that I lived in for so long. I am getting flirted with. People are complimenting me and it feels good. Mostly though I feel good every time I bend over to tie my shoes or sit with my legs crossed, look in the mirror, get up in the morning with bearable pain rather than unbearable. Life is beautiful again!  Today is my 43rd birthday. I just wanted to post this because I feel reborn. I do NOT feel 43. 

 

MY nose and cheeks are rosie from being sick for a week with a darn sinus infection and I have no makeup on but hey this is me...I actually look thin!

You look great! Congrats :)

Thank you!!!! 

Girlfriend, you look beautiful!  Booboo nose and all!  Love your new 'do, too!

Thank you! I was nervous about cutting it so short but it is starting to grow on me...(pun intended) LOL
