Updated Before/After Pic
Hi Everyone!
I'm at the point where I'm not losing weight (and I'm not actively trying to), and I've been at the same weight for the past few months. Sometimes I think I want to lose more, but the majority of the time I am happy with my size. I definitely feel bigger than I am. Sometimes I see pictures of myself with people that I consider small, and I realize I am their size or smaller (it's always a shocker, because I honestly feel larger than them). I still look at small spaces between cars, or carnival rides and think "Dear god, there's no way I'm fitting in there". Overall, I am extremely happy and have zero regrets about the surgery. It honestly was the best decision of my life (so far). I do have some loose skin, though not nearly as much as you'd think for going from 321 to 160 lbs. I do hope to get plastic surgery someday, but it won't be in the near future. I've discovered a new found love for getting active and getting outside, and I am always freezing! I started being open about having surgery, and found that most people are very accepting of it and still extremely proud of my progress. I guess if you surround yourself with open minded/educated people, they realize how much work goes into it! Anyway, I hope everyone has a very happy holiday season, and a very happy 2016!! I have inserted some of my most recent (the red shirt pic was taken yesterday ) progress pics. As always, any suggestions/feedback are welcome!
WOW! WOW! WOW! You look beautiful, healthy and happy! What more could anyone ask for.
