1/2 way there!

May 24, 2012

So... Today makes the 2 week anniversary that I received the date for my surgery and the 1 week anniversary of my optifast diet. I can honestly say, I FEEL GREAT! I have a little extra jump in my step, I feel more confident every day. I've lost about 20lbs to date! Things are starting to feel good! :) 

Tonight my oldest has her dress rehearsal for her dance competition that she has been practicing for since September, the show is tomorrow! I am so excited to see her! My husbands grandmother lives right next to the theater where they are preforming, so she invited us for dinner, she is making spaghetti... I've told her I'm on a liquid only diet and I have advised her of veggies I can eat, but I'm sure it will be another challenging dinner.. I'll do my best! :) 

Tomorrow I will also see my mother in law at my daughters show and I have not seen her since mother's day, so I anxious to see if she notices the 20lbs weight loss! 

I'm really starting to see things differently and look at food differently. I have however noticed my husband and I are a bit more at each others necks.. I think it's the financial strain of not having an income during my recovery... who know. I know he has a lot of insecurities about me loosing the weight and fears I will leave him.. which I could never imagine doing. We've been together since I was 16 and he was 15! We bought a house in 2004 right before my 22nd birthday and got married the following year! We have 3 beautiful children together and I can't imagine life without him. I'm not doing this to leave him, I'm doing this for him. for my kids and mostly for ME! but I want him to think damn I'm hot, and I don't want my kids to be embarrassed of me. I want to feel on the outside how I already feel on the inside! 

That's it for today.. Sun is shining and it's suppose to be a beautiful weekend! The last weekend before my WLS! :) SOOO EXCITED!
