Before and After

Feb 07, 2011

 SO, this is my first blog and I need to say that within my first hours on this site, I have become hopelessly addicted to the before and after feature. I can't stop rolling over pictures. Every single one of them is like....its own fabulous success story. I just want to hear all of them! I want to listen and take notes and I just want that to be me one day. 

My mom (who had RNY 7 years ago) and I have discussed the fact that when she was getting ready for hers, she didn't really know or think about what she was going to look like after because she was always relatively heavy growing up. I feel the same way, but, you know...a girl can dream...I look at myself in the mirror sometimes and just picture me--but thinner. thinner thighs, arms, face....but who knows, that could very well not happen. there could be someone completely different under all this extra body. Its just a fun thing to think of....

Also, my mom and I discussed the fact that she doesn't feel like a skinny person. She still feels like she felt when she was heavy. Which, kind of made me sad. My mom has been the biggest inspiration to me growing up, I wish she could see how beautiful she is. To shake things up a little, I feel like being younger, I will have more time to adjust to my body and (I'm hoping) my skin will bounce back a little bit more and I will be able to accept myself for my thinness. But, my fear is that my critical self-loathing eye will not disappear. I feel like I WILL be like my mom and not see myself for who I am becoming....you know? I want to be able to see myself as thin, fit, healthy....I guess that's something to learn!

Also, Surgical consult on the 16th......hoping for all good things! :D
cross your fingers buddies!
