4 months

Mar 07, 2012

 So 4 months ago today i was changing my life forever.  I didnt know what exactly to expect.  I was worried about all the complications i could be soon facing.  But still with all that i still was diving into my new life.  So here i am today so full of joy from this wonderful decision.  I am 236 this morning from my starting weight 320.  That is amazing.  I still cant believe it.   I have lost 84 lbs.  Never in my life have i ever been able to say that.  I am so happy that i have so much energy and can do so much more.  I am so glad that i have found a new love for myself and i take time to care for myself more and more.  Simple things that i used to love but have given up because it became to hard to do.  I take baths all the time now because i can and its not hard to get out.  I do my make up everyday.  I shave my legs everyday, which im sure my hubby likes so much better than the forest i used to have pre surgery,lol!  I can play with my kids and not get tired. I can do all my housework and not need to sit for an hour in between things.  I can keep up with my hubby now.  I can shop in the regular section of stores( which is so exciting).  I can workout and still stay active throughout my day.  I can fix my kids food that is not good for me and i dont feel the need to taste or finish it off.  Food is no longer my comfort, my friend, my bordem buster.  Its simply fuel.  I need it to keep me going and thats all.  I dont live to eat i eat to live.  Its so nice to have better things to think about then when the next meal will be.  I could have never expected to be where i am now.  I couldnt be happier with how things have turned out.  My husband told me a funny thing the other day.  A cashier at walmart stopped him one day when i was not with him.  She asked him if his wife was sick.  He said no she is fine.  And the women said she is losing so much weight i was afraid she was sick or something.  He told her that i had rny and have lost 80 some pounds.  I had to laugh for 2 reasons. 1 obviously we go to walmart way to much for her to notice me,lol.  2 strangers that dont really know me can definetly see the weight loss.  So its crazy to say the least.  I started out wearing tight 26 in pants and tight 3 x's and now i can wear 18's and xl shirts.  That is just so crazy.  i almost died when i put them on and they fit.  Since i have been wearing my 24's and yes they were super baggy.  So im glad to have clothes that fit.  Im so excited to keep going down but im really happy where im at.  I dont look god aweful in my clothes and i feel so full of life.  I am 100% happy with my surgery.  So far knock on wood i have had no problems.  So im hoping that keeps up.  I hope all of you are doing great.
