One month out and feeling great!

May 11, 2012

Today is exactly one month from my surgery and I must say that I'm very proud of myself.  Two days ago, I realized just how much weight that I have lost.  My co- workers have been teasing me about my clothes being big and encouraging me to go shopping.  I refused to buy anymore clothing with a size that starts with a "2".  I let go of all of my smaller sizes years, so I've been wearing what's in my closet.  After being teased all day, I made a vow that I would go try on some clothes and if I could fit an 18, I would by clothes, but if not, I would return home with nothing.  I went to Cato to check out the clearance rack and grabbed some items in 18.  As I tried on the clothes and they fit,  I almost cried in the dressing room.  I never imagined that I would be at a size 18 in one month.  I began my journey in a 24.......this is crazy!!!  I love my sleeve and  I will keep rocking it until the wheels fall off!!!!!
