I could use the food police right now where are they when you need them :) lol I am so glad you are enjoying your trip. I know it was so awesome not to have a seat belt extender. Love to hear good news like this always leave me smiling. Stay strong stay positive. Each NSV is just as exciting so think there are so many more to come!! I am so excited for you.

Topic: photo progression ...maybe

Okay, here is a photo progression. Please keep in mind I am not finished losing. Picture 1 is the biggest I have been on photo not my heaviest weight. Picture two I was working at it and so on and so forth. I am no good at editing so if the pics are funny looking sorry. I did my best. The last three pics are present. I wanted to show myself with no makeup and no control top in the one photo ( I know ughh..) but so you guys could see the skin there is lots more on my tummy but I am alive this year and feeling way better. (No Diabetes and healthy numbers on blood work) I am 12months out on the 11th of this month. I have between 32-35lbs to 150 . You know different scales different weights don't know for sure. the last pictures where taken today could not decide what to where for yall so I posted both :) I am nervous but I have to get over being insecure about my looks. So I am baring it all.. Pray for me yall!! LMAO

Enjoy!!.............Enjoy it all!!..............Congrats on your success thus far. You'll have plenty more experiences like those in the coming months too. Brace yourself for a stall or two coming up. Just know they are temporary, and you can and will move past them.

Stay strong with your routine. Keep the vits, protein, and water flowing. Dont give into an eating frenzy because you're in a different environment.

Keep it moving!!

Topic: NSVs Galore and food police

It has been three months since my surgery. During those three months, I had both ups and downs. All I see right now are ups. My sister had a baby about 5 months ago and next weekend is the baptism/christening in Florida. My first NSV: I got on a plane on Thursday and I did not need a seatbelt extender. Yeah!!!! I flew into early enough in the morning that my sister, mom and I ended up shopping. Size 18 pants?!?!?! What the dickens? I was wearing a size 26/24 just before my surgery. On Friday, I went to see my dad and stepmom who haven't seen me since the surgery. The expression on their faces was priceless. My dad mistook me for my younger sister. On Saturday, you know we had to hit Macy's one day sale. Got some new bras. Dropped down from a 46dd to a 40d. Woo Hoo!!!! Got a new dress too.Size 1X.

Well on the flip side of things, I am with my mother. Yes that means food police. She is monitoring everything thing I eat or don't eat. What's a girl to do?

Taking it one day at a time.
