I guess I can really see it now!

Went out tonight looking for some deals on clothes. Found the cutest pair of pants in Penningtons - size 14, fit like a dream (except for the button in the waist). Unfortunately they were crop pants, so I didn't buy. But what I noticed was that I'm finally reallly seeing the loss - my legs looked downright thin in these pants. My hips didn't look massive. It's taken so long for me to see myself as much thinner than I was 5 months ago, and it was almost a shock to finally have my eyes catch up with the changes.

Was looking through some photos and found one of me taken at a winery the day before surgery, then I called up a pic taken by moi 2 days ago. Yep, the eyes have finally caught up - must have been seeing the before and now side by side. Must research how to get the pics from iPhoto into a message. My son, the Mac wiz, is visiting for Christmas, so I'll get him to help me with it and hopefully post before and afters soon (can't believe I have the confidence to do this!)

Anyway, tired now, need sleep before my 5-month appts tomorrow morning - 3 in a row. Will post results of that tomorrow.

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora. Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.

that's awesome that you can see the difference. Can i ask a question tho? why are you still shopping in penningtons? they're very expensive, and if you're in a 14, you can DEFINITELY fit into a normal store.

I still go there sometimes b/c Reitman's is right next door (Reitman's is my fave). I am just getting out of 16 pants, and just barely into XL tops. So I can still fit X tops at Pennington's, and the 14's as well. Perhaps I'm subconsciously having a little trouble letting go of the "big" stuff. Basically, I was just lookiing for cheap, cheap, cheap! But when I left Pennington's last night I actually thought, "I don't think I'll be back in here again. Goodbye Pennington's!"

I'm glad you're saying good bye to that place. I feel like they take advantage of obese women, because their clothing is really horrifically expensive (except when you get the good sales), but where else do you go?

I am NOT having trouble letting go of the big stuff. I hated every second and every dollar i spent in that place.

That being said, i'll feel responsible if it closes! I remember when a friend of mind quit drinking, months after that the Molson plant on Hwy 400 closed down, and he felt somewhat responsible for it(not really, just kidding,but the timing was hilarious)
