This surgery was the best gift I've given myself

Jun 16, 2009

Today I went shopping.  I love bargain shopping.  I bought the cutest summer shirts and capris (  not brave yet to wear short shorts )  I bought all my clothes at goodwill.   I love deals, it doesn't bother me that someone else owned them before me.  As many sizes you drop from wls it's not worth buying expensive outfits until u reach goal.  I'm so surprised that I wear a size 16- 18 now.  Before surgery I use to wear a 24 (3x)  I still have a ways to go.  Goal is 140 pounds,  75 more pounds to go.  I started out at 274 and now I'm 215.  I still feel and look heavy but I know I'm not as big as I use to be.  It's difficult to feel confident when u go so many years feeling hidden and scared.   Next month I will be celebrating my 28th Birthday on July 27th.  I'm thinking that from today's date till July 27th I could drop the 15 pounds that I have left to get into the wonderful ONEDERLAND. YIPPPEEEEEE!!!!!!!  If this happens I will be the happiest I have been in years.   I know I can get this 15 pounds off by my b-day.  This surgery was the best b-day present I could have ever got in my whole entire life.  I hope everyone of you is doing great and enjoying the summer so far.  Everybody take care. -Crystal
