Update on ME!! LONG!!!

I have not been on the board that much lately. Life is just crazy lately!!  I wanted to take some time to update you all a little bit about me and my journey.  

 

Well, this week was 4 months since I have had my surgery. Oh how things have changed so much. The biggest change has been all the wonderful people who have entered my life and now are my friends. I feel like I have a second family a little less dysfunctional HA HA!  Truly, I have found so much amazing support and encouragement  from this board and the many friends I have made.

 

Yesterday I was preparing to get all my documents in order to get a passport (I have to go to for business nothing fun)! Well,  I was looking at my driver’s license and in the past I have always lied about my weight. Haven’t we all! Well, when I looked at the weight I was amazing that I’m actually 40lbs less that what it says!!! WOOOOHOOO Boy did I lie big time! I thought that was fun!!  I know many of you will understand. The husband not so much.

 

I am about 2lbs away from the 100lb mark and so hoping that this will happen this week. I will be seeing my parents this weekend and have  not seen them since I was just a few weeks out from surgery.  This will be fun to see their reactions to my weight loss.

 

A few weeks ago I was at Kohls looking for dress pants and tried on a 22 and they were a little too big but fit. I tried on the 20 and to my amazement they fit better. I do not ever remember being a size 20  in my entire life. This was an amazing feeling. I’m still kind of floored by it. I do get frustrated at times because I can now wear a 20  in dress pants but still fit fine in the 22 jeans. Why can’t  everything be universal??

 

I’m officially about the same size or a size smaller than my sister. This was one of my first goals. My sister has always been smaller than me. I’m officially not the biggest one in my department anymore!! WOOOHOOO…

 

I’m so happy that I made this decision to have weight loss surgery. It sure has changed my life for the better. Although I struggled a lot in  the beginning I know that I would do this all over again even with  the struggles. I have a long journey still ahead of me but, I am looking forward to all the great opportunities life has to offer. It will only  be better since I’m getting healthier!!
