ONE HUNDRED POUNDS !!!
Jun 24, 2011
Today is such a happy day for me! I am 2/10 of a pound away from 100 lbs. lost...and know that when I got weighed back in December it was "point something" and I just didn't write down that part...so I am officially onehundred pounds lighter than I was last Thanksgiving!!! In less than seven months I have made this happen. I lost almost half of it before surgery. I firmly believe that the surgery is only my tool and that I have done the work, the hard work...and am so proud and excited! I shopped yesterday and bought size 22 jeans at Macy's. I used to wear a 32, but that was tight and I certainly couldn't have worn anything like jeans or pants without elastic!!! And Macy's was NOT a place I could think of buying clothes. They're sizes ran so much smaller than Catherine's or Lane Bryant. I am not getting to the gym as much as I want to, as work keeps getting in the way. But I do get alot of physical activity at work, as I work at a summer camp and walk up and down hills and the other day I played dodge ball for an hour! That was a new experience! I have little moments everyday that make me so glad I made this decision. Yesterday as I folded laundry, I looked at my daughter's jeans from a plus size Junior Store, size 22 and said what the hell? I am gonna see if they fit. They did! They were too baggy on her...and she gave them to me. I am catching myself crossing my legs....haven't done that in twenty years. I sit on benches, stadium seating, etc and don't think twice about fitting or breaking a chair. Seriously I think about it for a sec and realize I don't have to worry anymore!! I look forward to going to theaters and concerts or ball games again and not worrying about the size of the seats, or even airplanes!! I can't afford any of those things, but it's nice to know if I want to go my weight won't hold me back! I have some goals for this summer, fun goals! I want to kayak. I want to hike and to camp. I want to see parts of the summer camp that I work at that I have never seen before due to my inability to walk so far. Nothing will hold me down!! Thank you God for this gift!!!!
