19 mos and a wow!

First of all...it didn't dawn on me until today that I am just about 19 mos out.  Where does the time go?

And of course...at that "far" out...the wow moments come less and less...but I feel great so that's A-OK in my book.

Anyway - a nurse at work last night was talking about a patient she had who was very sick, and had lost a lot of weight.  She was trying to describe HOW tiny this woman had become due to her illness.  So as she's describing her...she says...

"....I mean, for godsakes...she's smaller than YOU are Pam!"  I just kind of looked at her and went to say "well, that's not hard to do" when someone else said "Wow...she must have been super tiny"

I remember when nurses would say "No offense, but she's bigger than you are Pam" and now I'm the "yard stick" for small.

Weird, but WOW

Pam

Whoo Hoo You !!! Go gettem girl!!!

Thanks, Belinda!

Are there no mirrors in your new house honey? Because I was bored and looking thru people's profiles the other day and looked at your pics - OMG Pam you are TINY - and be proud of it because I know how hard you've worked at it.

WOW FOR YOU IS RIGHT!! 

LOL...yes...there are mirrors in my house...it's the brain that's just a little slow sometimes.  I see it when I look back...but in every day life....well...not so good :)  Thanks, Kathy!

um hello I believe that 2/4 is the ONLY number in your pants these days! lol

You are tiny!! I know it takes the brain forever to catch up! Mine still isn't there and I have almost a year on you!

I have a dress in a size 6, thank you very much.  :)

But yes...pants are 2/4 generally speaking.

The damn brain...all I see is the xtra skin and what not on some days.  Se la vie.

Thanks, Liz!

TINY is right!!! Way to go girlfriend!

Thanks Lisa!

Pam - you and your husband were at the first support group meeting I came to at Barix - I had just received a date for my surgery.   I remember you being an true inspiration that first day - I was thinking, how the hell did that woman ever have over 100 pounds to lose!  I was amazed at how well this process could work and you were the first person I saw that had done this, been successful, and was thrilled to share anything with anyone!

I hope that I can be that kind of inspiration to someone else some day!  You are awesome and it must be so amazing to be used as a barometer for being thin!  Good for you! :)
