Update and pics... 6 months out...

I know I don't post often, but I like to post pics when I do because when I was pre-op pictures were my biggest inspiration.  To see what I could be.  Plus I love taking pics of myself now. haha!  So I'm 6 months out and down a little over 80lbs.  Soooo close to my goal of 175.  At 5'11" I think that's a really great weight for me.  I'm wearing a size 8 and yesterday bought a dress at Target in a Medium.  what?!  I also bought a 2 piece bathing suit.  And i felt comfortable in it.  I haven't been a size 8 or worn a two piece since I was 20 years old.  I'm now 30 and so excited to spend this chapter of my life feeling good about myself.  I'm dating.  I'm spending time with friends.  I'm active with my kids.  I have had some issues with transfer addictions.  Mainly shopping and a bit of drinking to much.  But I'm working on getting a handle on both of those.  Seeing a therapist weekly.  Some NSV's... I now where shirts tucked in to work with a cute belt.  I don't have to wear spanx under everything.  People call me tiny.  I can cross my legs while sitting as a passenger in a car.  I can paint my own toenails.  I can take the stairs at work.  I don't mind having my picture taken with friends nor do I hide behind people.  I can shop at American Eagle and the Limited.  I don't have back fat.  I don't have muffin top.  A regular towel can wrap around me with no problem.  And soooo many more!!! 

That is so awesome!  thanks for posting
