NEW PICTURE SO HAPPY!

Today I got a box in the mail. A friend of mine sent me some clothes that were too big for her now. I was excited to go thru the boxes. All of the pants sent are 4x's. Keep in mind that all this time my pants have been 9 and 8x mens. That was the only ones I could find that would fit especially in the legs. Anyhow I told Kenneth well I'll have some clothes to wear later on down the road, he said why not try them on. I told him there was NO WAY they would fit. A few hours later I decided to try them on, I slipped them on my legs no problem, I started pulling them up my thighs, no problem. OMG! They fit me. I just sat there and cried. The first time in a VERY long time I truly felt joy like this. I've never gotten excited like this about trying on clothes. I can hardly imagine how things will be when I can go places to try on things. Kenneth was not here to take the picture so I set my camera up on auto timer. When I see this picture I can't believe the difference so far. It's so nice to see it! I have no idea how much weight I'm down now it's been almost 3 weeks since I've weighed. At this point I don't care what the scale says I CAN SEE & FEEL IT! 5x shirt pre-op/ 3x postie 9x pants pre-op/4x postie http://ourworld.cs.com/wlsandyou/SpotlightPics/AmybeforeafterAugust.jpg or go to my profile and my new picture is at the bottom. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=W1029266563&NoStatic=1 Amy 615/570/501/Healthy
