From Size 30/32 and 26/28 to size 18/20

Aug 14, 2010

So, I finally worked up the courage to go into the store and try on some clothes, since my 22/24s were falling down around my knees or falling of my shoulder and guess what, I can now wear a size 18 in pants and I'm in 18/20 in shirts. It is absolutely amazing. To think back to where I was just a little over 5 months ago in a size 30/32 shirt and a size 26/28 pants, that were tight might I add and now down to 18, 18/20 it is amazing. Even looking at my body in the mirror now is not such a terrible thing. I'm beginning to like the way that I look and I feel confident about myself. I was at a workshop the other day and one of the facilitators said they were going to put me on the spot and have me speak in front of the group. In the past, this would have made me almost break out into hives, I would be so nervous, but this time I didn't care, I was ready to go. I got up said what I had to say with confidence and I didn't care that others where focused on me or that I was the center of attention. I loved it! I have to speak this week in front of 550 teachers at a conference and I'm not worried at all at this point, I'm sure on the day of I will get a little jittery, but right now, I'm ready to go. It is amazing how this surgery not only helps you physically, but also mentally.

Well, we are moving at the end of the month and we are packing things up, so I gotta go and get to packing! Keep on keeping on OH members!! God bless!
