Is that really me?!
Mar 19, 2010
I know that I am not the only one to experience this, but I am amazed everytime I see myself in pictures now. I do not recognize the person on film. When I look in the mirror, I still see Fat Gwen. Now granted I am still obese according to the wretched BMI chart (which I am convinced was designed by the devil), however everyone comments on how "small" I have gotten.Admittedly I have gone from wearing a size 26 to a size 16... did I just say that... a freakin' 16!? I have not been a 16 since high school. Anyway, that itself is proof that RNY is working for me, but I just don't see any difference when I look in the mirror. I guess that is God's way of keeping my head in check, because WLS has never been about my appearence.
At 7 1/2 months out life has been good (with the exception of my over acting ovaries). I feel better now in all aspects of my life. I thank God for blessing me, helping me, and keeping me during this journey. I know that without Him, 'I never would have made it!" ~ Marvin Saap
