Properly Fitting Clothes Make a ***HUGE DIFFERENCE***
These ccollages were made today after another Srikanth patient who teaches photography and also enjoys it as a hobby, made the generous ofer of providing her professional services to me gratis. That was very generous offer. My head hasn't caught up with my body yet, and I felt verfy akward wearing clothes that fit (ie touched my body). I also can't wrap y head around the fact that I'm wearing smaller clothing (at surgery, As of 10/01/08 I was wearing 5X or 36/38 or 32/34. In these pics, the pants are 1X andand the tops are 2X. I'm wearing the pink/black outfit to the Barry Manilow concert in Everet****omorrow. Barry needs to see the sexy me!
First two are a comparison of photoes taken a month and a half before my intial consult with Dr. Srikanth on 10/19/2008 (5 weeks later, 11/19/2008, i had WLS at St. Francis) during trip to Potalnd with my motherto celebrate her 60th birthday on 09/01/2008. To date I have lost 115 pounds with VSG in conjunction with lots of blood , sweat and tears. I was worth the funds I paid out of pocket to have WLS, so I'm certainly worth the diet and exercise needed to first lose the weight and then maintain it.
The 2nd is s coupel of h
The second is just a collage of some of the shots my friend took yesterday.
It's odd that until i see photos side by side I can't "see a diference, even at a loss of 115 pounds to date. It's interesting that I my heaviest I didn't see exactky how fat I was, and now, even though I have in lost in excess of 100 pounds and still have 100 pounds left to lose, I m hyper critical of my appearance because in my mind's eye, I do see myself as I was at my heaviest (404 pounds).
Theast collage is just a few of the photos taken by my friend yesterday to photos of me taken 09/01/2008. I call this "The importance of proper fit". The reality is that bigger/baggier vloathes actualy maked you appeear both sloppy and bigger!
Pat ofme is tooting my own horn with thise post. A larger part, is hower, hoping thatsomeone sees it and helps them on their won jounrey.
