Feelin' super fine!

It's been 2+ months since I've had surgery. I feel I've lost a tonne of weight (30 pre-op). And I feel super fantastico!

I have told people -- and I mean it -- that if I never lose another pound, I will still feel superb! I know I am still considered plus sized, but I don't care! I move around SO much easier... size 18 fits me wonderfully, and (TMI alert!) I can use tampons again! Huzzah!

I was in a wedding this past Saturday. My wonderful seamstress took my size 26 dress and worked wonders and turned it into a beautiful size 18 and I rocked that dress! I did! I felt so sassy, and really, isn't how I feel what it's all about?

I have 140 as my goal weight, but that's mostly because it's half of what I was. I don't care if I end up at 140, 150, or 170. I really feel so good these days. And I see I'm pretty close to Onederland! Woo!

I guess my point, apart from sharing my small personal victories, is that for pre-ops especially, the amount we have to lose seems so daunting, but if I'm any indication, even losing roughly half makes a world of difference.

Cheers to everyone here for the virtual support!

Oh! Collar bones are starting to appear! Hee!

Awesome! Congrats! I LOVE my collar bones ;)

Congratulations!

I love your spirit!  Congratulations on all your success so far!  I know you'll continue to rock this thing as your journey continues.

Wow. Your joy and positive energy comes roaring thru your words. Congrats to you. And yes, I know I put too much emphasis on the numbers on the scale and the size clothing I wear. I need to get my head around that its more about how I feel, not the numbers. Thanks for a terrific post and congrats to you.

Thanks for such a positive post! With at attitude like that you will meet whatever goal you set for yourself.
