I LOVE Progress!

I can not explain how exciting it is to step on the scale everyday to see a smaller number! This morning I am 33 days post-op & I am down 32 pounds. I can not say that WLS is the easy way out, because it is NOT easy by any means, but the threat of possible side effects, does kind of force me to be dedicated, because you know the alternative will make you feel like CRAP!

I decided to go ahead & redo my measurements this morning & I was amazed! I have lost a total of 24.25 inches, 4.75 inches in my waist & 7.75 inches in my hips! I had to get some new jeans last Sunday, I had to buy jeans that were 2 sizes smaller...I loved that feeling!

On a different note, the girls went Halloween trick-or-treating with my parents the end of September & Kayleigh had more candy that she could ever need. So I decided to take the candy to work in a Halloween treat bowl, because I knew it would disappear QUICKLY! I was carrying the treat bowl into work, about a foot from my face, the smell of the sugar in the candy was completely disgusting! Since them I have had no desire what so ever to eat a single piece of that candy...that is something I have never been able to say! It was a VERY WEIRD feeling!

Looking Forward To...(vanity warning: please proceed with caution)

I want to buy a pair of jeans that are not in a plus-sized store.
I want to buy sexy Victoria Secret bras & panties.
I can't wait until I have to get my favorite ring resized...it is already pretty loose.
I want to be able to shop off the rack at stores like New York & Co., Old Navy, & Gap.
I want the only thing I own that's elastic to be my underwear, swimwear and pajamas.
I want to get family photos taken and be proud of the way I look.
I wanna buy cute rain boots, they won't fit over my calves right now.
I want to feel comfortable wearing shorts again.
I want to feel sexy & beautiful in my own skin.
I want to be able to see the changes in my appearance as others already do.
