well, i'm still going down and melting away!! melting, melting, melting. for the first time, i'm starting to feel smaller. i don't feel "thin" by any stretch, the huge hangover tire around my middle prevents that. but... i do feel smaller. and i do see that my legs are thinner, shapley, but a thin shapely too! :)
i've lost a total of 37.6# since surgery. still have 21.2# to goal.
able to eat pretty much anything, just in small amounts. still not so sure about steaks... too thick or something. i can do it, but it scares me. has to be an extraordinarily tender cut or it doesn't feel good sitting there in the banana. still can't try tuna fish since the one and only time i did and it felt like a bad bad idea. fish is really the best thing to eat. moist chicken is good. hamburger only if not too cooked (dry). bread, not so much... turns into a sponge and is no bueno. it is likely forever gone, and i'm ok with that. not much craving for it really.
i'm wearing single digit sizes on pants/skirts now!! 10's are just a bit too baggy in the bootay (yep, i lost what little butt i did have) especially later in the day. wearing medium tops which blows my mind. so far, still hanging on to a decent size in the boobies. have gone down only one bra size (38d to 36d). since that was my one and only vanity fear (besides hair), i am so happy that the girls are hanging on. even if they do sag to my new navel area much easier! haha!!!!
every day brings a new joy with the looks and comments i'm getting. and, with each new joy, look, comment, i am gaining more of my old self confidence and self esteem. it's like being in a heavy fog that has been lifted. seriously feel alive again.
go banana!
