 Loss this week:  -1.4lbs.
Total loss:  -119.8lbs.
Weight this week:  157.2lbs.

I like seeing this downward trend!  I don't have too much to say this week.  We celebrated my sister's 21st birthday in grand style.  This weekend was my niece's 2nd birthday and so my family swooped 4 hours down to Dallas, had the party, and then the 4 hour trek back.  The air conditioning at mmy house has been out so the goal of my life has been to do as little as possible.  Hopefully it will get fixed today.

Oh yeah, I do remember what I was going to comment on today!  

FOOD FIGHT!!!--Do you guys find that food is more or less of an issue now?  Shockingly, I find it's less of an issue.  I used to be freaky controlling about food.  Someone would bring me something to eat that wasn't on my diet?--I'd FREAK out.  Or even if one of my parents bought something for themselves to indulge in, I'd get frustrated that they were tempting me in such a way.  I wanted people to diet with me.  But then when I wanted to go off my diet, that was the rule of the land, and I defy anyone to say otherwise.  It was a very controlled issue, yet unstable. 

I can see how this might swing the other way for some people, and it's more of an issue after WLS.  For those of you who adhere to a very strict diet regimen, and have unsupportive family members who try to tempt you.  Also, I know that we have more particular ways/foods of eating, and need to eat more consistently.  I have always been frustrated when people did no understand the importance of regularity of meals.  That has always been a top priority for me (because of my blood sugar issues) so luckily most people know that I'm like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde if they don't feed me!  And as far as being tempted--I'm less tempted because nothing is completely off limits, and I think my family pushes less because they know how far I've come.

Photojournalism...

Wore this a couple weeks ago to wine tasting.  Felt HOTT.  Thought I'd share :)



What I wore out on Saturday (no makeup in pic!!).  I was at a bar and crossing my legs and I didn't hate what I saw!


Tried on size 8 Express jeans yesterday...and they FIT!  Like really well!  So exciting.  That now means 8's basically fit all around.  Hurray!  (But I didn't buy...I'm holding out on expensive jeans until I'm firmly in a 4 or so)


White shift dress I picked up at consignment store for $8.50

Tried on size 6 Calvin Klein dress.  A little too tight but dayum I kinda like it

And...drumroll...the best for last, and all thanks to Frisco for making me buy it and then fixing up my photo....
