Many Major Milestones at 11 Months out (pics)
Wooo Hoooo! I made it to my 11 month surgiversary yesterday. I reached a couple milestones. I FINALLY got out of the 140's. I officially weighed in at 139.6 yesterday morning. I was in the 140's for almost 3 months. So glad to finally say GOODBYE to that.
My next milestone was I am now officially considered "normal". I don't know who would ever consider me "normal"
but in the BMI world, I am finally there!
My third milestone is, I bought (and yes, actually wore) a size 4 shorts. I think the last time I saw a size 4 on my clothes was when I was 4. I am still a little top heavy (which my husband is thankful for ;) ) so I still wear a medium to some large tops. I have actually been wearing a swimming suit OUT IN PUBLIC and I'm not ashamed. I still have issues with my arms (hate them!) but hopefully surgery will help that. I still have image issues tho. I look in the mirror and think, Wow, I look pretty good, but then I see pictures of myself and think, Geez, I still have a long way to go. I hope my head will eventually catch up with my body.
I am so thankful to have been able to do this surgery. I'm a very lucky lady and I know that. I have an awesome husband, who is my rock. He's loved me regardless! I really hope to lose the last 4 lbs by my one year surgiversary. Wish me luck!!!

That's FANTASTIC! Very excited for you. I totally can relate to the body image issues. When I look in the mirror I don't see what everyone around me does. My brain knows the clothes are a smaller size, but sometimes I still feel big...its weird! Anyways, so happy for you : )
