Here I sit at 4:40 am...
So..I have been wearing a very loose size 16 and it was time to get some pants that fit, I mean, I could literally pull the 16 jeans down without unbuttoning and unzipping. So I was fairly certain the 14's were gonna work well for me. But to my suprise and delight, I skipped right over the 14's and am now in a size 12! YEEEE HAAWWWW! Needless to say this absolutely tickled me pink! I bought only one pair of jeans, as most of what they offered had that look to them, that someone wore em for a year, then they were put out on the shelf. I just don't go for that already worn out look. I like new jeans to look like new jeans. But I was A-OK with just finding the one pair I liked. Just knowing I jumped down 2 sizes thrilled me to death! Very motivating! I was almost as excited as when I discovered I could no longer shop the plus size department! These occurances my friends are known as the NSV's of WLS! (Non scale victories of weight loss surgery).Much like that first time I could bend over and tie my shoes, without grunting and turning purple in the face.
Where ever you are in your journey, always take a moment to recognize your accomplishments, be it pre-op or post op. These accomplishments and victories are key components to keeping us motivated and on track!
Have a great day all!

EXPERIENCE WITHOUT REFLECTION IS HOLLOW
I have a friend who's husband told my husband a couple of weeks ago "your wife is getting damn sexy...better keep ahold of her". But I think that was just his way of humoring my hubby.
Funny, when I look at myself in the mirror, I don't think I look like a size 12...lol. I held up those jeans when I got home with em, I was preparing to hang them up, and I looked at them, from the back and thought, WOW... my butt fits in these???!!!??? hehehe

The rain broke loose as I was getting home. Felt like a good afternoon for a nap. I feel refreshed after napping.
