I'm back...
Jul 19, 2010
Hey friends and family....sorry I've been gone so long. It's been a roller coaster ride. I don't even know where to start. Well, I'm 5 months out from surgery and my body has changed a great deal. Every time someone sees me that I haven't seen in a while, they don't recognize me. It's a great feeling. Awesome even. I'm down to 180 lbs and I'm wearing size 10 jeans, medium tops and my shoe size even shrank. I wear 81/2 or 9 from a 10. Just about every stitch of old clothing has been given away or donated to yard sales. I have been very fortunate, in that, I have not had to buy a whole new wardrobe. My mother is a shopaholic and when I say "holic, " I mean the worse kind ever. I now have 3 closets full of new clothes that came from her closet (tags still on). I still get amazed by the little things that happen to me.For example, I was walking through the living room and I had on an old pair of PJ's. Halfway through the living room, they fell to my ankles. LOLOLOL
. My boyfriend says...Babe, time to get rid of those too. Yesterday, I'm with friends and we're at this ritzy mall. We walk into this boutique store and we're looking at all the cute clothes. Well, I'm picking up dresses and tops and accessories with 2 of the other girls I'm with when I notice that my best friend was missing. I look outside and she's sitting there with the men. It dawned on me that, that use to be me, not being able to shop with everyone cause it wasn't a Lane Bryant or Ashley Stewart. I felt so bad for even being in there. I was happy with my purchases; but, I couldn't really celebrate. Anyway, the good news is, she has finally decided to start the process for WLS. 
Anyway, It's so good to be back and I can't wait to check up on everyone. I'll be going through yall's pages one by one. If anyone has any questions, please write. I will be sure to answer.
Smooches yall
