i JUST realized I'm no longer OBESE...I am now overweight!! WOOOWWWW!! thats another awesome milestone in life!! The last time I was this weight was about 12 years ago!! only about 4 more pounds and I'll be at a weight I haven't seen since before I got pregnant with my 16 yr old!! yay!! sooo exciting!!

I've barely lost any weight in over a month! since march 10, I've only lost 4 lbs :(  BUT, I'm definitly losing inches. I haven't measured myself but my size 12 jeans that I just got a couple weeks ago are getting big and last week I bought a pair of jr 13 jeans that I could barely button and they fit comfortably yesterday! So I'm not really complaining. Although, its always nice to see the scale moving at least 2 lbs a week, its nice to see the pants getting baggy.  I also see a big difference in my body shape over the last month! where there were bulges, there aren't any more! thats nice!! I feel sexy again, which I haven't felt in a very, very long time! I get hit on at work on a daily basis...which is sometimes nice, often not, only because of how gross/lame/disrespectful men can often be....they stare too long...they say stupid ass things....they're just retarded most of the time!! besides that, I work at home depot...most men that shop in there aren't very good looking and they are rarely clean so sadly, its not always a compliment! lol.....not to sound like a bitch, but its never really a compliment when men say retarded things!

My flabby parts are getting less flabby, which is nice! but my boobs are absolutely, without a doubt, DISGUSTING!! I have 90 year old woman boobs!! literally....the boobs of a freakin 90 year old!! no joke, no exaggeration!! they hang like someone put sand inside some water balloons ...all stretched out and hanging there...GROSS!! I can't wait to get a boob job!!

other note on life...we are in the middle of escrow on a new home for us! I'm super excited!!! we are getting married in september...another super exciting moment...and im going to try on wedding dresses this friday and am actually looking forward to it whereas I was dreading the thought before having this surgery!!
I broke my toe yesterday...booo!!! that means my exercise is going to be nonexistant for about 4-6 weeks and I only have about 4 1/2 months til my wedding and want to get more toned up and lose about 30 lbs from now til then and now Im not sure that will happen! booo!! but, no matter what, my wedding day will rock, i will feel so much better about everyone looking at me now that i would have 90 freakin pounds ago!! I LOVE MY RNY!!!!

I hope your journey is as awesome as mine has been!!

Holy cow, time flies! It feels like a few weeks ago that I was dying to have this surgery, wondering if the day would EVER come! I cannot believe its been 6 months!! Since surgery I've lost 74 lbs and a total of 91 lbs!! thats crazy!!  I feel absolutely WONDERFUL!!  I fnally feel like the outside of me matches the inside of me! I still want to lose at least 30lbs and up to 44 lbs but I feel great!!  I would do this all over again if Ihad to and  I recommend this to anyone who needs it!!! I really need to focus on exercising and toning up more.....but we are in a 30 day escrow process so my current focus is packing...then unpacking...then doing some things to the new house :D but in between, I WILL exercise...at least 30 minutes a day :D
