Not the Same Woman I was 6 months ago.

Jun 28, 2011

I need to celebrate today. 6 months ago I was tired, bigger than ever, in pain everyday, self conscious, out of control, hopeless. Today I am down 78 lbs...I am getting my confidence again..I have energy..I dont hurt..and I know that I will lose the rest of the weight because I have control. I have found my wls groove  so to speak. Its like before surgery if I was on a diet, I could only hope (and I usually didnt truely  I think would/could). However, now after wls..I know why they call it a tool...its like you CAN control when you lose.You can do what you need to do and know the weight will come off. I feel wls has giving me control over my life.  I shoot for 10 lbs weight loss every month..and I usually hit it. This month was only 9 - but close enough to make me happy.
Major milestone for me this month was to get below a 16, which is where I spent most of my 20's - before my all time high size of 24...I am now in a 12. I always thought that if I could just get into a size 12 I would be happy. Of course I want to lose more..I am not at goal. I want to be a size 7/9 now...Honestly I just want to lose enough to get down to a place where I can get a tummy tuck and do something about the girls, which have all but given up and disappeared. I advise if you are in your 20's and thinking of getting surgery...do it now - lol - so maybe you wont need a doctor to put things back in place where they belong. roflol! Its one of the things I pick my new body apart about - I know my husband likes thicker girls with bigger breast - so even though he tries to tell me Im beautiful- I keep reassurring him that implants are in my future. lol I have went from a 42 D to a 36 B.  Happy he is so supportive, as always...its just my own insecurities that make me wonder if he will still desire a thinner boobless Jennifer.
Well, Im going to wrap this one up...I have a few pics of me - size medium shirt- size 12 pants- and a before and 6months after face shoot.
Hugs! Jennifer
