These last 4 or 5 pounds are still driving me crazy!

Jan 30, 2010

I am now nearly 11 months out, and 1 have just a little over 3 pounds to go to make my surgeon's goal for me, but about 13 to make my own goal.  And I've been teeter-tottering back and forth between 3 and 5 pounds for over 6 weeks.  I really need to kick butt and cut down a little more, or try and exercise more (but right now, my back is preventing me from doing that - and I will require surgery sometime in the near future).   But, I'm excited, anyways.  I've been steadily losing inches and going down in size.... from a women's 28 pants to a size 12.... then a couple of days ago, my daughter gave me a pair of "Seven" designer jeans that she didn't care for because they were too "high rise" for her.  Only problem was, they were a size 10, so I might not be able to wear them right away.  Well, I got them home, and took them out of the bag and held them up, and I thought.... ya know?  Those LOOK like they'll fit me..... so I tried them on for the heck of it..... and THEY DID!!!  I wore them all day yesterday and they felt just fine.  And I was "stylin".... ya know?  Amazing.  I look at myself in the mirror, and can't believe that less than a year ago, I was HUGE and unhappy and hid behind anything I could find whenever a camera came out.... and now, I'm right there..... "yeah, take my picture.... I want to post it to SparkPeople and OH and Facebook!"
