Looking Forward to Fall

Sep 01, 2009

Happy September!  I'm loving the cooler, crisp feeling I feel in the morning when I walk out the door.  I'm hoping this will continue because I really need to up the exercise.  Biking and walking is so much better for me when there's a cool breeze.  I just don't do well in the heat, especially the humidity.  Oh well, regardless I've got to exercise more as the weight seems to be coming off a little slower but I'm only 2 pounds away from my first original goal of 80 pounds.  I suppose that isn't so bad for someone who had RYN May 19th.  I just want to take advantage of everything I have and exercise has always been something I dread.  I need to take on the logo of Niki - "Just Do It"

I have had the joy and frustration of buying a few clothes.  The joy is my 24's are way to big and look like...well I think most of you know what I'm talking about.  I'm wearing a 18, not 18W but a misses 18 dress!  Some 16's are good depending on how they are cut.  The frustrating part is my hips just hasn't caught up with the upper part of my body, but I new I'd have that problem.  The hips and legs have always been larger than the top half of my body and the slowest part to lose weight.  In some pants I was wearing a 24/26, now I'm getting in 20's, won't be long before I get in a 18, but depending on how they're made to get them to fit the hips I have this big band gap at my waist in the back.  Am I doomed to have to wear elastic waist pants for them to fit the waist? 

I'm so thankful I had surgery and at times wish I'd done it sooner.  I remind myself there is a time and place for everything and May, 2009 was my time.  I feel so much better, am wearing heels to work and my feet don't hurt as much.  I look at myself and just feel so much pride for what I've accomplished (with my RNY tool) and for what's looking back at me in the mirror.  I haven't felt that in so many years.  My husband has always loved me, there's never been any doubt about that but I see him looking at me, smiling and saying how pretty I look and it just makes me feel wonderful.  Before I started this process I told him I didn't love myself anymore, but that's changing.
