Wally World WOW Moment
The other day after leaving my doc's office I was on cloud nine! According to his scales I was down 93 pounds and not quite 4 months post-op, so I went to Wally World to celebrate! I was/am in desperate need of new bras and didn't want to spend a lot of money on them just to probably need new ones a few months down the road. So I find a cute red one and and a pink one (I'm a odd size now and if I find the size I buy if even if I don't care for the color.) Well since I still had more money to burn so I went looking at the clothes in the "woman's world" section. I didn't see anything I liked so I went over to the "regular" section to see if I could find a cute cheap top for my mom....well I FOUND A CUTE CHEAP TOP FOR ME INSTEAD!!!!
I couldn't believe it. Granted it was the largest size they had in the section (size 20) but I couldn't get over the fact that the starting size of the section size 4/6! So I bought the top, drove over to my sisters house around the corner and I was stripin' in her kitchen to see if my new top would fit! It was a great fit - in fact I kept trying it on that I got deodorant all over the front of it. Later on my way home I stopped by another Wally World and bought me a pair of shorts and jeans both size 20 in the regular people section!
Hard for me to believe that just only 4 months ago I was wearing some clothes size 30/32's but mainly 26/28's and last month when I finally broke down and went shopping the clothes I bought were sizes 24's and 22's if they were stretch jeans and now they are too big (well the 24's are falling off even with a belt!)
Amazing what my new best friend Mr. RNY can help me do:
1. Take less medication
2. Feel better
3. Find out the cause of my chronic health issues - so I can go back to work (still working on this one)
4. Exercise longer w/o feeling out of breath/so tired quickly
5. Buy smaller size clothes!!!
So, my OH brothers and sisters, what about you, what has your new friend Mr./Mrs. RNY (or other surgery) done for you lately???? Make a list!!!
As The Days Go By, I'm Working My Way Back
To A Brand New Me!
Congratulations on your success so far! TODAY probably is not the best day for me to answer to your question...see this post... http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/black_american/4152896/HOL D-MY-FEET-TO-THE-FIRE-ACCOUNTABILITY-POST/
People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
What has my weight loss done for me lately....
EVERYTHING!! It has given me a new, healthy and balanced confidence (nothing sexier than a confident woman) ....
down 8 clothing sizes
shrinking feet
can sleep in my bed comforably at night( I had to sleep propped up in a recliner at the end of my SMO days)..and I dont snore any more, and if I do, it sounds like a kitten instead of a grizzly bear
I eat better....produce is tasty! Who knew?
I can hit 2.7 miles in 30 min on the eliptical(At first I could only last 3 minutes..no lie!)
I can get up my 3 flights of stairs wayy easier
I look for excuses to BE active....rather than excuses NOT to be active
The fat over my eyelids is shrinking
I am starting to wear heels again
I feel proud to live a healthy lifestyle
