Well, here I am... it has been 5 months since my surgery and I feel so good about my progress. 5 months ago, I was 15 pounds away from weighing 300 pounds! Today, I am 9 pounds from being under 200. Today I weigh 208 pounds and I cannot even tell you the last time I weighed this much. Probably high school. This is the part I was most looking forward to for this process. To finally be at a weight that I don't ever remember being at, to feel like I am on a roll and kicking butt! It makes me so motivated to exercise more. I want to have a party when I am under 200. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry... happy tears. I bought some new tops this weekend and it felt so good buying smaller sizes. I love to clothes shop now. I am finally gaining the self esteem and confidence that I have wanted. I am not afraid to do things anymore. I am not afraid to wear yoga pants to the store. I am not afraid to have my picture taken anymore. I am not afraid to wear dresses. 

I used to shy away from going to baseball games a lot because the seats can be tight. Well, tomorrow we are going to see my Giants and I am a little anxious to see how I fit now. I went to a game in early April and there was improvement, but nothing that I was stoked about. Hopefully tomorrow I will have something else to celebrate. Fitting in a seat and not feeling squished or the arm rest pinching the crap out of me.

The other thing I wanted out of this was for my family to be proud of me. They tell me all the time how proud they are. I want them to introduce me to co-workers or friends and not be embarrassed by their ginormous daughter or sister. I want to run a maraton with my brother. I told him that I would. I promised that by 2 years post surgery I would do one with him. I think perhaps I can cash in on the promise a little earlier. I want my husband to have a sexy, confident wife. He is so good to me and constantly tells me how much he loves me no matter what I look like. He liked me heavy and he likes me now. He just wants me to be happy.

I am so lucky to have the support system that I do and I would not be as sucessful as I have without their continued love and support. 

Today I am happy and wanting to work harder; I want to get under 200 and I will.
