I'm an "After" ?!?!

Feb 18, 2010

I know for me I spent a lot of time going through the "Before & After" pics before surgery to keep my courage up. It helped to focus on actually, possibly, one day becoming an "After" pic.

Before:


After:


I mean seriously?!?! When the EFF did this happen?!  LMAO!

I am getting tired of one lady at church who keeps saying "You are getting so skinny!" even though I haven't really lost any weight for the past 2 months. At least I don't think I have since I am pregnant and the scale is consistent. But seriously, I am still about 200lbs!! I am STILL Obese! I am NOT SKINNY!

I can't fathom or even consider myself "skinny" until I can comfortably fit into a size 10 or 12! I'd be happy with a 14 but that won't happen until after baby is born, LOL

Once I fit into a size 10/12 I will be so happy because I know most of my sisters and my mom are all that size. Although my one sister is probably a 6/8. At a 10/12 I would finally be able to borrow clothes or trade clothes with them and other friends. That would be so cool!

My husband has been fascinated with my arms lately though. He keeps commenting from time to time on just how skinny they look to him. He was like "Whoa! Look how small your arms look now!" out of the blue one night. He just finally noticed them, LOL. I guess because my arms have always been bigger than his and now my arms are actually SMALLER than his! In fact my fingers are smaller than his because he wears a ½ size bigger ring than me now! Before I was 2-3 sizes bigger and now I am smaller!!! Even I am shocked by that!

I can even wear his jeans now (if it weren't for this baby belly thing). I picked his pants up off the ground thinking they were mine and put them on. It was a little snug when I zipped them up when I realized they weren't mine but my husband's jeans!! LOL

It really is surreal when you go from blatantly obvious size differences in clothes to now having to inspect your pants really well to determine if they are yours or not, LOL Poor hubby isn't even used to this change! Thankfully we'll have a few more months of maternity jeans to help keep jeans separate but after that it's anyone's guess!

Even with having to wait an extra year to probably get to my goal weight, even at this point I am so very excited to give birth and then continue on with my weight loss journey so I can finally make my goal weight and hopefully my goal size! I can't wait to see how I look and feel! I mean if I feel this great NOW being 50lbs away from goal and PREGNANT! I can only imagine how much better I'll feel at goal and much smaller!
