It has been slow going...BUT I am still going!

Aug 17, 2009

It has been almost 3 months since my last blog entry. It doesn't seem that long. I am now down by 97 lbs. Only 3 more to go to get to 100 lbs down. 23 to go to get to my goal. My loss has been very slow the past 4 months or so, but it is still going in the right direction, and thats the most important thing.

At the end of July, when I saw my surgeon, he told me he wouldn't be the least disappointed if I stayed right where I am weight wise. My reply to that was "Boy...I would!" LOL. ( I was 3 lbs heavier at that appt.). His goal for me is 170 lbs. But being 173 now, I know I want to continue to lose beyond that.

Yesterday was an exciting day for me. I went to buy a new pair of jeans, and I had been wearing 16's, that were pretty loose on me. So I just knew I'd be going to a 14. Well, I was wrong! I skipped right over the 14 and went into a size 12! I was like "NO WAY!" I looked at the tag again, and just couldn't believe it. So I tried on a couple of other size 12's to prove to myself that the pair I chose weren't mislabeled...lol. They weren't!

What a wonderful feeling this was!
