In absolute awe!
Jan 06, 2014
So... I'm completely happy with how the progress is going. I want to lose it faster but considering I was 314 to start, 307 on November 1st and 290 on November 7th (day of surgery)... I'm pretty happy that I'm 259.7 and it's only January 6th! I have lost over 50 pounds, dropped two pant sizes and can finally see a little difference but everyone else can see it better than I can, which is awesome! At the rate I'm going per my little weight loss tracker app, I'll be around 200 by the end of April/early May which would be completely awesome as I'm going back to San Diego, California for my friends wedding and I'd love to look great since I haven't seen anyone since I moved to Houston, Texas in August of 2011 and I was heavy then. I'd love to stun everyone! I would love for them all to expect to see the same 'ol plump Jen walk in but instead see this amazing figure that I'm working so hard to achieve! We went to Monster Jam on Saturday and the seats were no longer an issue. I HAD ROOM... I was so excited but my butt is boney now, luckily club level seats at reliant are padded so I was a little bit more comfortable. And with my husband being on weight watchers (his 6 month weight management) and losing 5 lbs last week, he was not struggling to in te seat fit like he used to either... it was nice just feeling normal and not being embarrassed or not moving to like go to the bathroom fearing someone would see the struggle of getting out of the seat for fear I'd be stuck or get hung up on the arms of the seat due to my wide hips. I was able to go and buy a new pair of work pants this weekend too! Considering I was wearing 24's at the beginning and squeezing into the 22's...neither fit anymore! They were huge! I have 2 pairs of 22's that I can still work with because they're high waisted and adjustable... but that's it... it felt so good to buy a pair of 20's and not have to try them on to see if the might HOPEFULLY fit! They still had some room to spare after I put them on! I felt fabulous! Even more so that I know where I started and where I am! My cousin has been losing weight on her own and is working herself into the 24's and 22's, so being able to pass my clothes along to someone who'll use them, makes it even better! I'm just in absolute awe of what excitement I have now with my how things are turning out and I need to tell my surgeon because he gave me my life back! My 10 year old loves that I am more active and he time we spend on the weekends walking the dog at the park. I just feel like I was given a second chance at life, and I'm ready to live it!
