ONE-DERLAND!!!

OHHH MYYYYY GOOOOOSHHHH!!! I FINALLY MADE IT TO 199!!!! Actually 196 to be exact! Holy crap! My doctor said that a realistic goal was 220 but my goal was 199 and I DID IT! I just have 13 more pounds to go to make it to a normal BMI. I currently weigh less than my dad now too! That is a big deal for me because he has always gotten down on me for my weight. I still have yet to really start an exercise routine but I am still walking every day. I went out on the town with my girlfriends last weekend and I had the confidence to just have a great time! I did whatever I wanted to and talked to whoever I wanted to! I was hit on and the whole 9 yards! (Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my hubby, but I have never ever been hit on like a normal girl is hit on so it was really fun to be flirted with! Don't worry, I was VERY well behaved!) I just feel so free now. I can be out and about and not have to worry about what people are thinking. I love it! The down side to losing 239lbs is the skin tho kids! I do have some pretty saggy skin and it totally sucks! It's nothing major and I can live with it but I just wish I could wear shorts or a bikini or even a tank top without being really embarrassed by my saggy thighs, knees, batwings, tummy, etc, etc, etc. Maybe someday I will be able to afford a total body lift but until then I will have to live with it! Oh and if any of you want to see pictures just ask because I am open to showing you - I know when I was pre-op I wanted to be prepared for anything. I just don't want to post them for everyone to see. Well that is about all I have to say for now but I am soooo happy w/ my weight loss thus far and I love my RNY!!!!
