26 months out and 152 lbs. lighter

Mar 27, 2010

I feel great.  I have not kept up on this site as I should have, but I will try to post more often.  I feel like a new person.  I lost really 154 lbs, but these last eight pounds fluctuate.  I try to eat like I should, but sometimes I cheat a little.  All in all, I eat a lot healthier than I once did.  Still haven't vomited since surgery over two years ago.  But I do get nauseous if I eat too much or too fast.  This surgery has been a life changing experience for me.  I love my new life.  However, there are times when I still feel fat and ugly.  And when this happens, I look in the mirror and tell myself, I look a lot better than I did two years ago. 

I love shopping for new clothes now.  Have actually managed to get into a few small tops, but mostly medium and large.  SIze 8 pants are a long way from a size 26.  So I can't complain there.  I still have loose skin, but am trying to get to the gym more often.  It just doesn't always happen.  

One of the most exciting things that has happened since my surgery is I now work part time for Victoria's Secret.  To me it is an honor to be offered a job there at my age.  And I would never have dreamed I would ever work there.  I feel sexy and of course I get lots of sexy underclothes, too.   This really helps my ego, when I feel fat and ugly.  I am now 44 years old and have been called a hottie and eye candy for the first time in 26 years... It feels awesome!!!

Oh, and as a reward for losing the weight, I bought myself a convertible...I am loving life....
