Quick post tonight but I need to do it so that I can keep track of stuff! This past week I've had quite a bit of things happen that deserve remembering! :)
So here we go...
As of Thursday, I have lost an inch 1 and a half in my neck, 4 inches in my bust and 4 inches in my waist.
As of Sunday, April 1st (exactly one month after surgery) I have lost 35lbs :)
Sunday I went to Belk to find something nice to wear to work. Most everything I have is either too big, falling apart, or too small so I'm having to do some shopping. For the first time in 6 years (at least) I was unable to shop in the plus size section. The smallest size they carried in their shirts was too big. I'm not sure I can explain to you all how wonderful and amazing this felt. I sat there in the dressing room with tears in my eyes as I realized a 1x was too big. I was able to find a few tops in the regular women's section that fit well and I felt good in them. It was a major milestone for me! Makes me appreciate what I've done that much more...it's working....not just numbers on the scale, or thoughts that maaaybe my face is thinning out. It is real and it is happening right before my eyes!
I still have a LONG way to go but I am eager and willing to do whatever it takes! :)
Going to try to get some pictures taken this weekend to show my progress and I'll be sure to post them!
Sara, I am so happy for you and proud of you!! You have come a long way, and you still have a long way to go, and I know you'll do it all with confidence and power behind you. You are, and always have been, an amazing and wonderful person. I'm sad that you let others bring you down and think twice about yourself just because of the way you looked, but I'm glad you didn't let it bring you down enough to the point that you sat around and moped. I'm glad it inspired you to do something about it and put the shit-talkers to shame. I always thought you were beautiful, and I always will. Love you girlie!!!
