Finally seeing the difference

I finally got around to having my husband take 3 month pictures of me. Since surgery I have lost a total of 61 pounds (surgery was 4/2/08). I got feel the difference as my clothes were fitting differently and for the first time in my life I was buying a size 22/24 clothes that fit me good. I am able to buckle my seatbelt again and fit into booths. Speaking of booths, went to Chili's the other day with my co-worker and when I slid into the booth, my tummy didn't even kind of touch the table and I didn't have to move the table to get it. It made me smile!!!!!  So I am for sure feeling the difference, but in pictures I wasn't really seeing it until the other day.

I had my husband take pictures in the same outfit I took my 1 week post op pictures in and when I compared the two, it was amazing. I was FINALLY able to see the difference. I could really see it and it made me feel so good. The comparions shots just shocked me. It felt really good to finally see the difference.

I also made it to my first mini goal. The lowest weight I have recorded as an adult is 313, my first goal was to get under that and yesterday I weighed in at 312!!! I haven't seen the number on a scale ever I don't think. My next goal is to be under 300, to think I am only 12 pounds away from that is just amazing. I still can't believe that I have lost 85 pounds from my highest weight and 61 since sugery. It is amazing!
