Stuff that happens ...

Just a few observations I have made recently...

Panties in a bunch takes on new meaning at 70 lbs lost. Lets just say I am thinking I need some new panties!

Your feet really do shrink

Gooble gooble gooble.... Turkey neck!

I failed at shopping at the last VV Boutique half priced sale. I was aiming for clothes that would be too small for now but would fit in the fall. They all fit now and I will still be needing new fall clothes!

Good bras are ESSENTIAL to my mental health and well being.

Speaking of boobage .... For some unknown reason I have lost almost nothing in the boobs but a tonne of inches in the midriff so now the girls are looking huge. This has never been my experience in my lifetime. (see previous observation ... need GOOD bras!)

I can walk for hours without pain and have not used any painkillers for back, neck or knee pain since surgery!

Hubby is haaaappy camper. 'Nuff said

Food and hunger no longer controlling me. I can happily go out for dinner with others and its all about the company ... not the food.

I love deciding what to wear to work.

The best thing in the last week? Paying it forward by sharing my experience with an acquaintance that was very eager to hear about the process and considering it for herself.

congrats and thanks for sharing

Loved the post and can relate to so many of these!

 Thanks so much for your post, I really enjoyed it and when I looked we started at the same weight. We also have the some boobage problem, but I have been fortunate to lose some boobage, which thrills me, but I don't fit into my bras now and have to spend some money on new ones. I'm glad you mentioned how bras are good for your mental health, since I was going to wait for a while, but it really isn't worth it. The right support is worth it, and so am I.
Thanks again for a very positive message!
