Tomorrow, I go back to work! As, Much as I love my job... I have actually enjoyed my time here at home. I have learned alot about myself over the last few of weeks!I am feeling pretty good. I have had a couple of 'bouts with dizziness... But, I really can not complain. I commented maybe a week ago, How I was not ready to hear compliments... I guess I have to get use to it. People left and right are complimenting me.. And, I feel great about it..But, I am still not at that believable stage yet. I know, Its me... When you weigh over 200/300 pounds most of your adult life, and were a puggy little kid... Your self esteem kinda lacks! I am having a hard time BELIEVING people when they say "Oh! WOW, You look GREAT!" Funny story, I was at Walgreens the other night, picking up a prescription for my husband, He fell on the ice snow blowing and broke 3 ribs!! But, thats not the funny part... So, I was looking quickly through the Valentines card section. I saw a Parent I know, I had his son. So he walks up to me and says.. "Hey, I didn't recognize you! How are you?" Now, I probably saw him 2-3 months ago the latest. And, I said, "I am good"... So you know we were shooting the shit back and forth and he keeps saying "Wow, You really look good, Like, You have lost a ton of weight, Enough that I NEEDED to comment!" And, I was like "Oh yeah, Thanks I feel good"... So then he says, "Well, Before I forget why I am here, I should probably get going." So we said our good byes and went our seperate ways. Now, to the somewhat funny part. I leave Walgreen and I am in my car. I text my friend/coworker.... Did %^& %$@@ know that I had GASTRIC BYPASS. And, She replies... No, Not that I am aware of why?... So I proceeded to tell her the whole story and she says, " Well its because... You look FABULOUS!!"... But, Do you see where coming from an overweight person most of their life.. Its not believable... I know I have to work on it! I am trying!!!
So, Yeah... after telling that story I am smiling again, until I think of work.... Uugghh! On another positive note... My mothers friend came over today and again... "You look WOONNDEERRFFULLLL" So, Now I just smile and say "THANKS" and we were talking and she was saying how I must have gone down so many clothes sizes. I told her, "No, Just one so far... I went from a 24...to a 22." Which I am PHYSCHED! And, She was like, " A 24 thats what I am now..." I kid you not.. I went to my friggin closet and took ALLLLL my 24 pants... and all my shirts And, Filled a trash bag for her!!! Good- Bye 24!!! LOL
Well, Its off to more laundry, valentines crafts and getting ready for the week. Shane is about ready to get up from his nap.
Take Care Everyone!
