less than 15 lbs from goal!
Sep 17, 2010
I cannot believe that 6 months post op about less than 15lbs from my goal weight! I am so happy! There are so many things I have felt so great about and i think once i reach my goal weight I will feel that much better. So i havent posted in awhile so i should give some updates:- i have now lost over 85 lbs since the surgery
- i fit into size 8 pants, size small/medium tops
- i have a boyfriend who is amazing
- i am shopping A LOT MORE
I knew that i would be shopping a lot after the surgery but i didnt know HOW much. I'm running out of clothes like there's no tomorrow! And it's not like the in-between sizes where i didnt really care what i looked like - it's at the point now where i want to go to the "nice" stores and spend money! IT'S BAD! I think i need a second job just to pay for the clothes lol. I did think i would get addicted to shopping - and i was right.
So my weight loss the past month or so has been steady. I stopped exercising for about 2 months during the summer but in the past month i've developed more of a routine with the exercise. Plus it helps that my boyfriend exercises and likes outdoor activities. I've played tennis and for the first time, i tried kayaking (and LOVED it!) I'm also running more because i want to do a 5k sometime next spring. My sister, brother, dad and boyfriend all run so I want to be a part of it. I've already gone up to running a mile and a half consistently. Before the surgery i couldnt even run down my street, i would have to stop and walk!! It's a great feeling to be able to do it. I want to get up to the point where i can run with people too. This past weekend, my boyfriend and I ran 1.5 miles and it felt great. He slowed down a bit for me but it just felt good to be able to do it.
Overall i feel great and wanted to update and reflect on what i've accomplished and want to continue to accomplish.
