47 pounds and counting...

Feb 12, 2011

I'm now down 47 pounds including the 15 pounds I lost prior to surgery.  And actually, I'm down 68 pounds from my all time high a few years ago.  Around Christmas time I bought a couple of pants from Eddie Bauer and they fit now!  They're a size 20!  Still big, yes, but I don't even remember the last time I wore a 20.  It had to be at least 15 years ago.  My shirts are now starting to be too big and are becoming a bit low cut so I will need some new shirts soon.  This is exciting stuff.

I don't know about you but my body physically doesn't feel any different from before.  I guess I just expected to somehow feel smaller but I don't.  I'm thankful for the scale and my new pants for confirming that I am indeed losing weight.  And the fact that I now have a jawline.  Haven't seem my jaw in years! 

We're headed out of town to see my step son and his family next weekend and I'm excited to actually go on a plane and not have to ask for an extension. 

I love reading your stories!  Continued success to all of us.
