I can't believe it's been 6 month since I walked into the OR at HRRH today. It has gone so fast with many NSV, support from family, friends and this board. The scale has never been kinder, I have lost 80 lbs and feel like a million bucks! So today, I booked a little getaway with a good friend of mine. We're going to Cuba!! For 5 days. No kids, husband, or boyfriends. This will be the first time I travel without my hubby and kids. I am not to worried about making the right food choices. I still haven't had any alcohol but don't really miss it.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!! and for those still waiting, hang on, good thing come to those who wait

Time to go shopping for a new bathing suit! God help me!!!
Have a good weekend....Sandy

Enjoy it .... isn't life grand??

I had to buy a new bathing suit a few weeks ago. The Walmart is pretty much done with those for the season. So off I go to Quinte Mall and nervously I went into Bikini Bay. 

Well I couldn't even begin to imagine that I would find anything would fit in there. But I did ... Ok the salesgirl did and she was awesome! I told her I had lost eighty pounds and didn't know my size or fit and she really helped find some good options

I settled with a great tankini with a comfortable underwire and good side coverage for the girls. For bottoms I bought a skirted piece. Both look great and hold in any subversive jiggles!

So when I paid for them she says ... That will do for now ... come back when you need a new one and we'll get you into a real bikini!! LOL
