Goal 1... I made it!!!
Aug 18, 2010
It has been seven weeks since surgery and I have accomplished my first goal.Goal 1 - 210 lbs. This morning when I weighed myself, I was 209.6 lbs.
I started at 244.4 and weighed 236 the day of surgery. Thanks to my sleeve and just a little will power, I have lost 26 lbs in 7 weeks.
I chose this goal thinking that I would be able to fit my clothes better. I just didn't figure that my size 20's, 18W's, 18's, and 16W's would no longer fit and I would be a size 16. I wear my 16's with confidence. I feel like my old self. I don't look in the mirror to make sure that my shirt is not puckering, or to make sure that the buttons on my shirt are not about to pop off. I look to check myself out. I look good. I am not where I want to be but I am a lot closer than I was 7 weeks ago.
So here I am, Goal 1 down. What's next? First the Spa (my reward), then Goal 2 of course.
That's my Onederland. Thinking back, I guess I was not sure how much my weight would fluctuate. So... I wanted a safe area in the 100's. I guess I watched too many lap band youtube videos
. I really feel that I will never see above this weight again. When I reach Goal 2 I will definitely be a size or maybe even two smaller. I think I have 3 size 14 outfits in my closet. I gave away the rest. I am sure I will need new clothes and maybe even underwear. I am excited to go shopping at Victoria's Secret!!!
