Where has the time gone to? In other words - Debbi's update

Dec 29, 2008

Hi all of my OH family!!!  I hope everyone had a great Christmas and hope everyone has a wonderful and peaceful New Year! 

Well, to start off with we did have Mark's company Christmas party.  It was very relaxing.  I had so much done ahead of time.  BUT 1/2 an hour before I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off!!    I even took a shower early so I would calm down. The reason I needed to calm down is because about 95% of these people hadn't seem me since I lost my weight and about that many didn't even know I had the surgery!  

Was I wrong to wear something that showed off my figure more?  NOOOOOO  I can't believe I am even saying "my figure"!!! I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE!!!!!  I can see my waist! 

Believe it or not there were many people (expecially women) that wouldn't come up to me because they didn't know who I was (this is what they told me).  I FELT WONDERFUL ALL NIGHT WITH ALL OF THE COMPLIMENTS!!!!  Everyone wanted to know how I did it.  I was very honest and told them how and said I couldn't not have done it without my doctor's help and wonderufl people on this site!  (were your ears ringing?)

Now, I think I want to get a new boob!  Yup seriously considering this one.  Hopefully next year. 

I am now 4 pounds away from losing 100lbs!!!!  I can't believe it.  I am down to 170 lbs.  I got on the scale after Christmas.  This is one thing that I was dreading.  I actually lost weight!!!! 

I stopped wearing my baggy fat pants and bought some new clothes.  I can't believe I can actually go into the petite section at Kohl's and wear them!  I have a big Italian booty so I wear a size large in pants.  The legs are a little baggy but can't them over my Italian butt if I went to a size medium.  However, I do wear a size medium in a shirt.  Do you believe it a MEDIUM    That's CRAZY!!!!

Mark still thinks I shouldn't lose anymore weight.  I bought the fam a WII and I bought myself a WII Fitness.  Haven't gotten on it yet (the kids did though) but I have played tennis and bowling with Breanna and Ryan.  Really got a workout on that alone. 

I can't believe this weight was just disappeared on me.  I couldn't and wouldn't have done it without this surgery.
