6 Months Out

Aug 25, 2011

Today, I am 3 days into month 6 post op and things have slowed down a bit but still going well.   I am now wearing a 7/8 - 9/10 dress....178 pounds ...NEARLY 100 POUNDS IN 6 MONTHS.  My weight appears to be pretty high for my dress size but that's what the tags say (from multiple designers). 
June -July was simply AWFUL.  In June I had an 8 pound loss in one week then not a pound lost for nearly 7 WEEKS.  It was soo crushing and cruel.  I still ONLY eat protein with an occasional green apple. The weight loss has resumed but it is considerably slower than before the crash.
My period has changed completely and I am unsure if I will reach my goal.   135 is the number that I want to see on the scale.  43 pounds to go.  What size will I be at that point? 2-4?  I don't want to revise my goal because that "number" has kept me focused and far away from even a cheating thought.
Zumba and walking is my exercises of choice NOW.  I must admit, I was not really working out before last month but I was staying busy and making a real effort to move move move walk walk walk.    Overall, I look great and can fit into many of my clothes circa marriage and baby.  I look glamorous in my Mercedes again and am thinking of trading it in for a convertable.  I say this because I actually stopped driving my car at my heaviest weight and would only drive my husband's conservative vehicle.  I just felt akward and ridiculous driving a luxury sports car and was embarassed every time I stepped out.  Shallow..... I know but it's "my" true sentiment.
For the first time in several years I can honestly say that i'm happy, healthier, grateful, and very hopeful of my ever changing and evolving life.

LOVE
