5 month update
Ok, so my 5 month update is late....sue me! LOL! WOW, life has been incredibly busy. I have lost 80 pounds total. I went from wearing a size 24 to now I am in a size 12.....can you freakin' believe that! I went shopping 2 weeks ago, just trying on clothes. I can now shop in the regular size clothes and this feels so wierd. I never imagined that I could buy non-plus size clothes, but I do. Now the insecure side of me wonders if the sales people in the store are wondering why am I not shopping in the back of the store where the plus size clothes are, but that's just the insanity in my head talking again. The best part of my transition has been how I feel about myself, my increased energy level, my increased sex drive (yeah baby!) and my desire to just enjoy life. I now have a boyfriend.....first one since my divorce. Joe and I have been dating for 4 months now. He is terribly supportive, loving and fun to hang around with. I feel incredibly blessed. Joe is now looking into having the DS surgery done with Dr. Bonanni. He has his first consultation with Nurse Paula on Monday. I wish you tons of luck baby! Enjoy the ride! I eat pretty much whatever I want. I get full very easily, but definitely eat normal portion sizes. I still have occasional issues with carbs (gas). I have also a low tolerance for alcohol. I am a cheap drunk these days. I am looking at making plans for summer vacation with my family right now. I am majorly looking forward to this. I have always wanted to go horseback riding and plan on doing this very soon. I have always been to fat to get on a horse, but not anymore. Time to start conquering my "To Do Lists" now that the weight is just falling off. Still having issues with taking my vitamins. I am just one stubborn girl. I have my 6 month doctor appt on the 21st of March. My labs should be interesting. Will post more after my appt. As for goals, I still want to lose another 40-60 pounds. From there it's just exercising, toning, strength training. I am a force to be reckoned with these days! MY DS ROCKS! 0 Comment(s)
