Finally, someone noticed!

Jun 07, 2010

It has been 5 weeks since my surgery and I've lost 22 lbs. in that time.  I also lost approx. 23 lbs. from my pre-op diet.  I know I'm looking better and feeling better about myself.  I can now wear some shirts that I could not wear in January of this year.  I was really starting to get annoyed that no one at work noticed the weight loss.  Well, today it finally happened.  One of the girls actually took notice and told me I was really looking good!  It made me so happy.  I guess wearing clothes that fit me instead of my "fat clothes" is making a difference.  My son stopped by yesterday and he has not seen me since a few days post-op.  I was wearing really big clothes, just lounging around, watching TV so of course he did not notice my body parts but he did make the comment that he could tell my face was thinner.  That also made me feel better.

I had a tupperware fully of walnuts on my kitchen counter and everytime I walked by yesterday I would grab some and eat them.  By evening I was disqusted with myself so I put the container in the freezer.  Out of sight, out of mind!

I walked from the train to the office this morning and I'm going to walk back again tonight.  I'm also going to work out on my Total Gym.  I think the exercising is paying off.  Since most of the TV shows are reruns and I record on my DVR during the week the programs I want to watch, I'll have plenty of time tonight to exercise.
