40 LBS GONE

Jun 25, 2010

So, I am just a little over 6 weeks post-op and am now a good solid 40 lbs down. 40 pounds that I will never see again. Good bye! My first month the weight literally fell off. It is going much slower now. Of course as impatient as I am I wish it would go faster. I so want to be under 200 lbs in the worst way. I haven't weighed 190 anything since like the 1990's. That is so scary. My size 18 clothes are becoming baggy on me now, but am feeling hesitant to try a smaller size. Very scared that they will be too tight  and really not ready for any disappointment. So I will stick to my size 18's for a bit longer. I have a trip to the beach planned for August and am already having some anxiety about wearing a bathing suit. I really want to, but haven't in alot of years. (too many to count) My 13 yr old daughter is really a great inspiration. She is like a little mini coach. she pays attention to my protein intake and finds new recipes to try. How lucky am I. We are spending alot more quality mother-daughter time together...now that I have more energy than ever before. We do alot of hiking together which gives us a lot more time to talk. Again, can I say, How lucky am I to have such a great daughter. I could not ask for a better daughter. She is so awesome. (My biggest fan) I feel so blessed. I love my new life.
