Down 52 pounds 7 weeks

I am the same size I was in 1996 when I worked as a machinist. When I started working at my job I was 155 pounds after 15 years of hell I balloned up to 220 pounds. I was always called fat.... That just makes me mad when I think about that. Everyone is telling me I look great and I look thin. They use talk about how big I was back then. I just dont understand this. My barbie thin older twin sisters always called me fat at 150 pounds. It is so funny they was always 120 pounds. Now they are 48 years old and are 160 - 165 I hope for the first time I can be smaller than them. They have been on a diet since I have had this surgery. They are having a really hard time. I kind of laugh to my self. Because they always told me to diet. They didnt know how hard it is. It is very hard. All I say to them is eat small portions. I always looked so healthy at 150 -170 when I get to that size if I stay that size I would be fine with it because I am tall. I just feel really good. I am fitting into clothes I havent wore in years. I do look smaller than 220 but Im not. I think I just see small in the mirror. I stopped going to are local mall because I was always afraid someone from my work would see me and think. You should see her now. So This christmas I need to take a walk threw the mall. I am so happy I had this surgery Take Care Barb

That is great Barb! So happy for you. I'll just bet you WILL be smaller than those sisters of yours. They might not like that...but I'm sure they'll be proud just the same. CONGRATS!
