Jan 07, 2014

Well today I am 220lbs.  I thought I would be smaller by now....but I stalled for a very long time.  Today I went to work and the secretary said " well hello Miss Skinny" and that just made my day....FAR from skinny....but I fit into a size 16 comfortably, that's for sure and getting so many compliments. I am lucky I am well proportioned.  I am not really happy with the way my breasts look....but I went from a 42/44 DD to a 38 DD...maybe (just have to get a proper fitting) but I lost 4 inched around my bra band. I am noticing my skin is puckered big time around my belly area but I knew that....I have had two babies and that area has never been forgiving. I am hoping that as I get smaller, the skin will tighten up a bit....who knows....I won't really worry about it too much.  The surgery was more about getting healthy and looking good in clothes -and besides, I fit into a size XL at Reitmans now!  I can buy clothes in a regular store and I am the second smallest size at Pennington's now! LOL....little victories.  I really must take my vitamins more regularly and increase my protein and water intake as well.  No hair loss yet, and I hope I avoid that because I am so vain about my hair.  I feel great and get full very fast. My boyfriend says I eat like a bird.  I can tolerate bread, although it's heavy.....and everything. I have snuck some pop and chips and even some sugary desserts at Christmas, My Bad....and only lost 3 lbs in December....so I need to step it up and start exercising and toning. All in all....no regrets at all.  I have a bit of Vit D issues, but that's it.  Here's to 2014 and all it brings!
