22 Pounds Away

Dec 29, 2012

Hey OH family. I hope you are enjoying the holiday. My holiday was different this year. This WLS really changes your life. I thought about all the things I normally do during the holiday, and what I could do this year and my feelings had a hard time dealing with the change. I had to keep reminding myself I did this for better health. People keep telling me how great I look, but the funny thing is when I look in the mirror I don't see it. Sometimes when I look at pictures I can see some changes. Check out my pictures and let me know what you think. Lately I have been going through my closets to give away more clothes. I am so used to wearing oversized clothes to hide my body. You would think I would be happy about the thought of new clothes, but I was really sad and cant figure out why . It was almost y like a grieving process. Then when ordering new clothes, I would buy my old size. Of course I would have to send the clothes back because once I saw them on my body they looked bad. I'm slowly learning and accepting my new size...I will get there. Another milestone I had recently is recently I had a MRI, CT Scan, and Xrays done. This is the first time in years that there was no issue about being too heavy for the tables for the test. . Now I can go anywhere and get proper tests and treatments! My last  major milestone is when I was weighed last week, I found out I am only 22 lbs away from being under 300 lbs. I haven't been in the 200's since high school, and that is  over 20 years ago. I am on my way to being one sexy diva, my 40's are looking better and better. Now I just need to pick back up with my PT. I had to stop for a minute because of some other health issues that needed to be fixed first.
