Thursday August 20th share and care

Hello everyone! Hope your day is going well. I know mine is. My cat Eva, had 6 beatiful new babies last night. They are so cute. Mama and babies are doing well. My daugter has named them Uno, Mickey, Minnie(cause we are going to disney) Moo, Oreo, and Spot? I can't remember the last one.  

Things are going well weight loss wise. I am excited to get to the 220's before Travis comes home. That is my goal. I had my first OMG moment yesterday. I went to Lane Bryant to buy a coming home outfit for Travis and I put on a beautiful dress in a size 18/20. Well, it fit perfect and the lady said try a 14/16. Now, you must know that LB ladies know me and my kids by name....LOL. Well, I tried the damn thing on and to my surprise, IT FIT!! I don't think I have seen that size since before high school and I know my hubby has never seen that size. Life is good.

Love ya'll

Devon

Congratulations, Devon! 

You are doing an awesome job and your attitude and the success you are having is very inspiring to me! 

Well, not much new here.  I started my morning with a trip to the dentist.  Just the routine cleaning and check up.   NO CAVITIES!   

I've now been at work a few hours, but I have yet to accomplish a darn thing.  I guess I've just been too interested in what's going on in OH world. 

That said, I'd better get on task and get a thing or two done today!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful Thursday!  Take care!

Hey all!

This is the first I've gotten in one the share and care. So, here goes...

As of today, I am 6 weeks out of surgery. I'm still off wor****il next Thurday, so I've taken the time to get myself back to "normal." I've been getting a little (a lot) stir crazy being home all day so I'm actually looking forward to going back.

I'm getting a little frustrated with my weight loss. I'm doing amazing. I've lost about 40lbs since surgery. I'm so happy about it! I'm getting frustrated because my scale will just not let me hit Onderland. It keeps hovering between 200 and 201. I just wanna see 199! On the other hand... My boyfriend's 17 y/o little sister kept telling me she had a pair of 16 jeans that were big on her. I've been afraid to try anything on because I didn't wanna be disappointed... but the other night I tried them on and they FIT! Actually they are a bit baggy in parts... woo woo!

Well, I guess that's enough for now.

Have a beautiful day everyone!

Hi All!
I am currently sitting in the building where I have my weekly support group meeting freezing to death. I can't believe how cold I get since the surgery. Winter in upstate NY is going to be interesting this year. I never used to wear a heavy coat until maybe January. I think I'm going to wear one real early now.

Feeling a bit better about the eating. Don't have the urge to binge right now. That has been a real issue for me. I realized that it was a stress reaction. The desire to graze is definatel a boredom reaction. I am working on developing some new hoobies to take the place of my old bad habits. Journaling is really helping. Not using a fancy book, just an inexpensive notebook from Wally world and a hairband to hold it closed. I wish I could find one that I hd started before my surgery, that one had my presurgery measurements. I wonder how many inches I've lost?

Okay, I'm ramblling now.
Have a great evening everyone!
Love ya, Deb
