Happy,. Glorious Sunday to you all!

Good morning to all my fellow Bariatric Buddies.  I feel great this morning and had many WOW moments yesterday!

I worked for Walmart for 9 years, the last one spent on a medical leave.  I officially lost my job 2 weeks ago when my leave time ran out.  I am truly blessed that my only bills total about $30 a month.  My husband makes a very good living and is glad that I'm a "housewife."  I know a lot of people find that politically incorrect but I'm a bit old fashioned in many ways and I don't mine being taken care of by my hubby and having doors opened for me and things like that,

Anyway, we went shopping at Walmart yesterday and there it was.  A bathing suit that they have carried every year since I worked there and never could get it because the sizes were too small or I simply couldn't afford it.  The suit was hanging on the rack and they only had 3.  I am officially able to get into non-plus sized clothes!  And I will most definitely be going to water aerobics this week.  I also went shopping at Sears yesterday and took advantage of some of their clearance items.  It is so weird not buying the biggest sizes they have on the rack; I was always buying oversized shirts to hide everything and now I have a little shapliness to show off. (Is that even a word?  LOL!)  I'm gonna have hubby take some pics tomorrow of me and the bike and new tattoo. There is only one drawback to having a tattoo done; I personally find them addictive and I am now thinking of getting the Harley Davidson logo in black and pink instead of black and orange.  We'll see.

I dropped just a bit more weight; I am at 205 even this morning and that makes me pretty happy.  I still don't know if I can lose this 25 pounds for the surgeon by my next appointment, but I'm not going to take any crap from him either.  If he wants to b*tch, let him!  I'm happy with the progress far and am still losing.

I hope you all have a beautiful day today and feel as a good as I do.  I'm sending lots of love and prayers and good thoughts to all!

Congrats on the fun shopping adventure Colleen. enjoy the swim suit. Looking forward to the pics.

So glad you are having a wonderful day today, and did yesterday as well. Congrats on that swimsuit you have been admiring, now being your own!
I remember the first few times i shopped in the regualr dept, I felt like people were looking at me thinking.. "yeah right lady... you belong over there----------->>>> lol.

I don't think i feel as good as you do today, but we are all entitled to our off days right? So make your day twice as great and enjoy some of it for me!

Great job on the weight loss! you are doing well!
