Three months out and almost 60 lbs down.

Wow, 3 months already. I can't believe it. I was greeting in church today when a friend whom I haven't seen in about 2 months came in. She was staring at me with her mouth open (she knows I had surgery) and said "wow, have you ever been this thin before?" That comment really threw me for seveal reasons. One, I don't consider myself "thin" yet. And two just the ways she said it made me feel like I had really accomplished somthing. And I have. Of course, I know I have a ways to go, but I am actually going. I love that I make good choices everyday for the most part, and on those occasions when I don't....my smaller stomach lets me know and that is where it stops. I remember being on several diets where I would be going to eat "half" and I would.....but in time would have picked at it and picked at it until it was gone, and then feel like crap because I ate the whole thing. Now I eat till full and most of the time, my husband or dogs eat the rest. I told my husband he has to stop eating all my left overs or he will be gaining the weight I am losing. I went to some garage sales and bought two bags of clothes for $11.00. I used to hate walking into a garage sale and looking at clothes because I always felt the people were seceretly watching me thinking "does she really think she will fit in my clothes". Now I know I have a chance and have found some great bargins. And as I mentioned before I am not dreading the warmer weather (now that it is finally here) because I am more comfortable and may actually go to Lake Michigan this year instead of coming up with a million reasons why I am too busy!
