6 month surgiversary..... (Yesterday lol) + pic
I was really busy all week and weighed in today instead since I just adquired a new position at work (school aide) and it's non-stop action all day. (YAY!!! I walk 12 thousand steps and over every day!) I find it easier to get all my liquids in at work than when I'm at home... Is that weird? Anywho, I weighed in and I'm 155 today morning, 15 pounds away from my revised goal. It's till hard to see the change, I see it at work on the reflection of the windows in the halls, ask myself who's behind me and realize it's me on the reflection. I have lunch duty, and it's so rad to get compliments from kids every day saying that I look really pretty, that they like my clothes, that I have nice hair ( big LOL on that one, I've always had SOOOO much hair, but I've been losing it like crazy lately, probably over 1/4th of it is gone now)... I feel so confident now, and I guess I'm one of those that wears their saggy skin with pride. (Even though I don't tell people about it.) I even met a surgisister when she came to pick up her daughter she knew right away that I had surgery and asked me lol... She also had it in March and had lost about 90 lbs ( she was well into the 300's). We started talking like crazy about our journeys and it felt sooo nice to talk face to face with someone that truly understands what I'm going through.
Now on to the picture, I got my first "bikini" out of 3 I bought online. They are sized based on asian sizes so it felt hard to order an XL lol. I'm tall, so the "swimdress" kind of fit me like a long shirt, and some nice shorts. I wanted a swimdress because I want to hide the back part of my thighs, it worked!!! Since my beach trip is until December, I'm sure it'll get a little loose and give me some space. I thought I had lost some on the girls, but I guess not that much, they feel like they want to pop out. .... Here's the pic btw, never thought of wearing swimwear in my life. (=
