Not so BIG anymore...

Thought I would share this progress picture of sorts. Here in Dallas, the Visitors and Convention Bureau has had a "Big Things Happen Here" promotion running all year long, and part of the promo is a set of the letters B&G all over town that you can take your picture with. Last year at this time when I was getting ready to have my sleeve surgery, I had my hubby take a picture of me between the B&G at the hospital where my surgery was originally supposed to take place (it was later moved to a different hospital).

Today we found another B&G set at a park in downtown Dallas and took another picture for comparison.

Not so big anymore.  104 inches, 162.6 pounds, 5 pants sizes and 6 shirt sizes later…there I am, healthier and happier than I’ve been in a long, long time.  64 more pounds to goal, and not quitting 'til I get there.  I don't care how long it takes me, so long as I get there.

It's crazy...I still have such a hard time believing that I am as small as I am now.  I don't know if I'll ever see myself as NOT weighing 440 pounds.
