Pictures~ jerked me out of my grumpy funk!
Well, I have been feeling pretty down lately feeling like I wasn't doing things right or that things were not going as well as they should have been. I posted a couple times on here feeling grumpy and discouraged. Many people said I should take some measurements and pictures. I have taken a couple when I first started out but nothing recent. My husband took some of me this morning and it wasn't until I stitched them together that I really saw just how much I had changed. I was pretty shocked and it helped kick me out of my funk. I weighed in at 198 today, so I am in onederland which I have not seen in a least 11 years. I also went dress shopping today for my husbands Christmas party and kept going to the 16's-the size I have been wearing. She kept telling me the dresses seemed a bit 'loose'. She went and grabbed a 14 and asked me to humor her.. after threatening to kill her if I had to get cut out of the dress in the dept store.. I slipped it on and it zipped right up!! Me, in a 14! I have not been in a 14 in about 13 years! I just couldn't believe it.
I hope the pictures work, I had trouble with them. The first were taken July 8th the night before my pre-op diet... the second was taken today 82 lbs lighter
Your smile in the "after" photo facing sideways says it all! Great job.
