I am now obese!! :)

Apr 08, 2009

Tomorrow I will be three months out from surgery.  What a crazy time this has been so far and so worth it.  I have been back to work for two and a half weeks now and feel great!

I am 3.6 lbs away from my Easter goal of 220lbs...so close.  The biggest thrill today has been discovering that my BMI is 39.6 which makes me simply obese.  No longer super morbidly obese or even morbidly obese...WOW.  This is really working...even for me.

I have had great fun in the past week shopping for, or even just trying on new clothes.  I can now wear a regular 16, not a womens size 16 in bottoms and some tops.  Shopping is so much more fun, can't wait to be at goal and go on a major shopping trip.  I refuse to spend too much money on clothing at this point as it seems such a waste, but I did splurge on a couple of pairs of dress pants and blouses for work.  I've discovered that Jay Set is a great place for great sales in many sizes and styles and sure beats Value Village.

I am so excited to break 200lbs...that is my next goal and only an amazing 23.6lbs away...unbelievable!  When you think only 3 months ago I was 15 lbs away from 300 lbs!!  I am so thankful for this surgery and so glad that I did this for myself!
