Almost there

Jan 21, 2010

I am about 3 weeks from my 12 month anniversary.  It's hard to believe it has already been a year.  I am down 97 pounds total.  My goals have varied depending on where I was at with my weight or size.  My first goal was to be the weight I was when I left Weight Watchers the last time.  My next goal was to be the weight I was when I got pregnant with my first child.  Then it was to weigh what I was when I graduated from college.  Then my lowest weight since high school.  Then it was a size 14.  And then a size 12 by Christmas.  My last goal is to be down 100 pounds by my 12 month appointment.  That is a goal I am having the hardest time reaching.  The scale has been fluctuating!  Ugh!  Frustration! 

I'm working toward stepping it up at the gym and maintaining my food log - which can be my lifesaver. 

Since my surgery several people I know have had surgery with Dr. Foote.  Everyone is feeling such great success with WLS.  It is a life saver for many of us and one I don't regret.

I am currently wearing a size 10 (which I made it into before Christmas).  I can't believe I wear a size 10 and a medium.  Me!  The chubby girl.  Wearing a size 10.  How awesome is that? 

You know the funny thing?  I still have to take several pairs of pants with me in the dressing room.  Kind of like when I was heavy.  All pants do not fit the same.  There are even some 8's that I can wear.  You would think finding clothes is easier now.  Not really.  It's just challenging in a different way.  Oh and it feels great to look in the mirror and go "wow, that's my butt!  I look hot!"

My self-confidence is incredible.  There is a difference in me at my job and my personal life.  My husband loves my self-confidence as much as my sexy body.  He tells me I was always sexy, but now I actually show him I believe it.  I don't know how much of this is true, but I'm not going to argue with compliments

At my 12 month anniversary I plan on taking new pics and posting them here, along with new measurements.

Best of luck to everyone on their journey!  Talk to you in a few weeks!
