Finally feeling spring ... a goofy thread .. my journal entry today...
Sayyyyyyyyyyyyyy whaaaaaatttt? Chile please, whyyyyyyyyyyy did I put the winter stuff away and trying to pull spring/summer stuff out ... did I say I have 3 walk-in closets... a shoe closet and an attic converted into a closet for my DD and I.... YIKES .... 10 construction bags and 12 boxes full of give-aways to ship out and the mess grew and grew and grew .... but guess wha??t .... I had fun shopping freely in my very own closets....LOL
We went out with friends last night ... dinner and dancing and had a ball ... hey AL is a class act clown and was dancing better than me on the semi-good foot (yup the good foot that started going bad but we caught in time and treated).... I had to tell him to chill a little bit and not get carried away ...so it was looking for a dress to wear time yesterday ... and finding stuff ... and then trying on and off and snapping away... hey I had my pedometer... step counter and calorie meter on and I burnt 1,500 calories doing this .... I burnt more putting on and off stilettos ... and then putting the mess away ... geez where this all this stuff come from?
Here are some of my finds ... and just a small bit among the chaos ... there were too many pics to collage...
CAN YOU TELL ME PLEASE WHEN CAN I WEAR THIS? CAN YOU BELIEVE IT IS HELD TOGETHER WITH JUST THREE SNAPS???? AND I COLLAGE THEM ALL IN COMPARISON WITH MY BEFORE BECAUSE I REFUSE TO FORGET AND I REFUSE TO TREAT MY WLS AND LIFE AFTER IT WITH DISDAIN ... I AM HAVING FUN ... I RATHER ROCK THE FABRIC THAN THE FAT AND IT IS ALL GOOD ... FOR ME THAT IS....
Me in my 3 snaps dress .... it is fitting too loose than what it should but I have no intention of taking it in....
Oh and I love my checkered dress ... all these duds I never got to wear last year nor the year before...
Then as I tried this on the escape artist Chiquitita was out of her pen and came for a scoop and a kiss ... so what is better than a close up with my TEENY WEENY escape artist ferret Chiquitita?
Oh and I love love love this dress ... I rocked it during my first 16 months post up when I went all the way down to 111 lbs ... yikes ... talk about looking drawn ... and I can wear it now ... still weighing in at 120 lbs this a.m. still have a big arse and thunder legs ... genetics vs. weight loss according to my doc... will I ever lose the caboose? geez...
Oh can I wear this now? I wanna...
This is the dress I finally decided on last night to wear out with Al and friends .. we had a ball... it took the whole big mess to find what I wanted to look in ... I do not like wearing repeats to certain places ... never did .. neither at highest nor lowest weight .. I would take a piece of fabric and fabricate something overnight if I had to ... that is just me being silly though .. but that is how I am wrapped .. from a kid ... LOL ...
My before and today with my pets ... my Pomeranian POMPEYO... My baby Sebastian who is so NOT the baby anymore ... he is soooooooooooooooo sweet... and my Midget Ferret Chiquitita the escape artist we also call her Teeny Weeny or Peenywally ..
Close up of Sebastian... he loves to sleep cuddled close ...
Close up of Petunia ... she has black nose and bug eyes ...
This post serves for nothing else but for an old sista to enjoy and encourage herself and whoever is willing to read on a journey worth too much in terms of health benefits to self and family and quality of life along with mobility and zest for life. With health and mobility with 5 co-morbidities in remission I REFUSE TO TREAT MY JOURNEY POST WLS WITH DISDAIN... I knew going in that weight loss was not an entitlement without me working to get to and maintain at my own set goal ... I am rocking my journey by the minute, the by second, by the moment and finding joy in every bit of it ... in good times and even in bad times because I know that while going through is not easy... is uncomfortable and painful and upsetting it comes that it may pass .. I will not allow my midnight or darkest moment to linger more than it should... I will embrace joy again with the new ray of sunlight because I made it through the night .. I will enjoy today because tomorrow is not promised ... I am capturing it all in my digital journal and now my blog ... A Picture a Day Keeps the Pounds and the Inches AWAY.... From 327 pounds highest to 120 pounds today 4 years and 4 days short of 3 months post WLS....
Big or small I am embracing me ... because in essence I am just the person that I am and always was ... I love to sew and make dolls... I love to paint and sketch people/portraits in canvas and acrylics ... I love love love having my family here and overseas and my wonderful cyberfamily of OH friends.....
I love my before even though I won't ever go back to a place of co-morbilities and impaired mobility and I love my now.... I love my fat girl she is very much in me and in my mind ... I will not forget her ever ... we walk side by side amicably ... I am not tormented by her .. she serves as a gentle reminder that her deliverance is my release and my release is her deliverance ... morbid obesity kills!
Ahhhhhhhh mobility... it makes making things ... and giving and even charity sooooooooo much easier .... I AM MOBILE... AND HAPPY AND FREE!!!! I love comparing my before and afters/NOW!
Thank you for allowing me to share!!! Off to Zumba toning ... increasing my weights too..

Beautiful dresses my friend! And you look lovely in em! I love to go through and just try my dresses on when I have no where to where them.. I always figured that extensively trying things on was exercise and you confirmed that! Lol
I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

Thank you beautiful!!! I have two boxes set aside and working on a third one will PM you.... Trying things on and off is not only fun but great exercise... the kind that I like because you don't even know you are doing it LOL ... like briskly walking from one end of the mall to the other and over and over again ... that is what I used to do a lot in the beginning before joining the gym...

Om-gosh, I am so excited! Thanks! I love walking the mall with my BFF and just chatting while we drink our protein, lol.. It is a great way to pass a bit of time without being stagnant!
