Chicken legs with a side order of bat wings

Aug 05, 2011

  It's been 4 months since my surgery date and I am happy to say I am down 62 pounds! As amazing as that is I can say the changes in the way I eat are still very surreal to me. A few bites and I'm stuffed? I'm not even hungry?? Who woulda 'thunk' it! My present day clothes are falling off of me and my 'old fat' clothes (especially t-shirts) I wear to bed and I feel like I'm Jennifer Beale from Flashdance. (the shirts literally hang off one shoulder at all times! My old jeans, dress slacks and jammie bottoms...forget about them! They literally drop right to the ground. Luckily, I was one of those girls who saved my better looking smaller sized clothes thinking one day I'd get into them again...and I have!  So SWEET..and even they are getting too loose on me. (but I am hardly complaining!) I've always been active but now notice a lightness when I walk again which feels terrific! (I even 'outwalk' my dog! He pulls me to the car when he's done but when I'm ready to go again!) My energy level is through the roof and I'm even feeling confident enough to head back into the gym! (I am looking a little 'deflated' these days.) I'm still having problems getting in my daily amount of protein, which is so frustrating and know I can't rely on shakes and protein bars for meals but I am grateful that they do help when I'm in a pinch. Did I mention the bat wings? GEEZE! I was never one of the bigger girls who was lucky enough to have firm looking arms, (although I have always had rockin' calves) but now they are twice as  jiggly.  I am constantly pulling on my shirt sleeves to make sure they cover the wiggle. I need to do start weight training to get back on track and help diminish the wings. Do I wish I did this years ago? For sure! Any regrets? Notta one! And to anyone who is considering or who already has a surgery date this truly is one of the best decisions you will ever make!
