2010? WTF?
Ok, so ten years ago, we thought the world was going to end because it's entirely connected to an outlet, and God laughed... Now the world is going to end in 2012 because the calendars say so (God's still laughing)... which gives me two years to get to my goal weight and size and strut my stuff for a little while... so i have about 50-some pounds to go...
Unbelievable to me that I've even come this far... still seems like a dream that I don't want to wake up from... I still feel like i weigh 340 lbs... not physically but in my head... I still size up chairs before I sit in them... Still think I'm not going to fit as I'm walking between people at the store or in restaurants... As I'm pulling up my jeans or slacks I still think they are going to stop dead at my knees because they just look 4 sizes too small...Then I look in the mirror and I'm like "**** wow, holy crap!"
When I suck in my stomach I see RIBS... Ribs.... did y'all get that? Ribs? Who knew? When I lie on my side I can feel my ribs and hip bone pressing into the bed. When my two year old sees my before and after pics she says "Big Mom, Little Mom" as she points to each respectively. Yes my boobs are a bit saggy but my husband says they still look "cute" ... I'll take cute, I'm ok with cute... Yes I have an apron that if I didn't have I'd probably be 2 sizes smaller than I am now (18) but my husband "doesn't even notice it." Saggy boobs/saggy skin vs. NO MORE PAIN... **** I'll take that too...
I danced in heels... I partied with high school friends who still look like they did in high school... I'm feeling wonderful, looking better, eating pretty much whatever I want (breads and pastas still make me feel ****ty, though; but it's a great deterrent) and I'm lucky that I really love everything I can eat like: steak, pork chops, chicken, ground beef, all kinds of cheese, fruit, and once in a while even a veggie, lol...
I am glad I found this place... So many people who have WLS have no clue that this website exists and they are really all alone, or at least they feel that way, and are really unprepared for everything they are going to experience... But you guys... you guys have made this journey for me so easy and I feel prepared, and I don't get scared, and I don't freak out, because everything I went through, or will go through, someone here has already experienced it, freaked out about it, posted about it, and given me the opportunity to learn from someone else's mistakes... Thank you for that...
I am feeling so blessed... so lucky... so happy... and so excited for this new year we are about to embark on... I know my weight loss has slowed a bit, I know why and I know how to fix it... Here's to a new year where I can tweak my diet, continue losing, and continue feeling so blessed. Here's to a wonderful website with wonderful friends, wonderful partners in crime (that means you, Mr. G. and you, Brandi), and wonderful experiences (positive and negative) that have left us stronger and smarter, and better than ever... Here's to VSG, here's to Health, Love, and Life...Here's to You!
