I went on a super spur of the moment trip to Portland Oregon to visit my Grandmother. My mom and her twin sister along with my cousin who is my age flew up from California and I flew in as a surprise. No one has seen me since I had my surgery and they all could not believe how small I was!! It was wonderful to see everyone and especially my grandma who is getting up their in age (83) I dont know how much longer she will be with us and thats why I made the trip. I did great with eating and had to answer a lot of questions about why I eat so small ect. I have to buy some new pants. My jeans I have size 16 are falling off of me and I really need to buy some 14s quickly!!!!! I have lost some more weight and now weigh 196.5 and Im sooo happy!!! Im glad Im home safe and sound... the trip was exhausting and the airports are starting to get crazy with Thanksgiving travelers. I hope all of you had a fantastic weekend.

Wow Darcie -

It's really great that you got to see everyone. I'll bet that they were really surprised and pleased with your newfound svelte figure! You'd better rush out and get a couple of new pair of pants to tide you over until you need a pair of 10s.

Have a wonderful holiday.

Your trip sounds like a great one. Having your family see the new you must have been really cool.

Congratulations on leaving those 16's behind hon. I'm about to move into the 16's myself. Right behind you there!

Oh how FUN!  I love spur of the moment trips... sounds like you had a great time and glad you're out of the holidaze frenzy at the airport... I'm SO glad my family is 4 miles down the road so I don't have to get in that mess. And CONGRATS on those big breeches...
