Twoterville!!

Feb 04, 2012

 The scale has been dropping rapidly this week..about a pound a day. SO this morning when I got on I was thrilled to see I am under 300 pounds!!!! I haven't been this weight since I was in my mid twenties. I like the parallel between weight and kids...after more than eighteen years they are considered ready to be on their own and its time for them to move out. My excess weight has been dragging me down for way too long and its time for it to move on! Thank you DS  :D

As many people have pointed out one of the not so great aspects of this surgery is that many people lose their hair. Add me to the list  :(  and I didn't have that much to begin with!!! So yesterday I went to the store and got some new hair! It is long with loopy curls and I love it. It is unapologetically romantic and I am amazed at how quickly I have become used to wearing it. I took it off last night and just about cried at my poor little head. I also woke up this morning thinking how fast can I put it back on! My family has a history of baby fine thin hair so after wearing this Pre-Raphaelite mane I may never go back  LOL. I did get a few strange looks at the birthday party I took my son to this afternoon but everyone was too polite to say anything. I know they were thinking...umm...she didn't have curls halfway down her back the other day......hehehe...who cares..I am beginning to feel beautiful for the first time in a long time.

Oh and the last thing I will mention is that I have been dealing with the dreaded hemerrhoids for the past three months and nothing was helping. I was about to go to the doctor for the heavy duty stuff when I read about this stuff called HemClear. I thought what the heck and ordered some. I've been taking the capsules and using the cream for two days and the problem is shrinking! Amazing...something that does what it is advertised to do  :D

I will try to update more often in the next months but I will freely admit my life is rather hum drum...I kind of like it that way. Other than my physical changes not a lot is happening. I am not having much if any anxiety about the weight loss. Its as if I am finally becoming, physically, the woman I envision myself to be. I truly think my self image has been stuck at around 18-200 lbs. I just remember being so shocked when I would see pictures of me at 400 lbs or catch a glimpse in a mirror. Major denial going on there! Maybe when I actually get closer to 200 I will begin to feel some anxiety but who knows. I'll keep you posted  :D
