I'm still existing in a sparkling effervesence of *APPROVED*....I tried to call my skinny mom and sister last night and they were both busy with different things, so I didn't have the lapband talk with them. And I'm glad I didn't last night....I was just TOO excited. My husband was depressed about something, so all my glee just kindof bounced off of him. But, I DID tell my daughter (she's 6) and it was prob'ly bad judgement b/c she will doubtless leak the word out to my ex (her dad) and prob'ly my skinny in-laws. But last night was worth it. We were both just jumping up and down celebrating, because "when I get skinny I can wear beautiful dresses again!!!" I can't tell you how many Sunday's when we're getting ready for church she has asked, "Mommy are you wearing a dress today? How bout that beautiful one in your closet???" But I always end up putting on the black pants and some dark colored top on.

 

So here's...

  • to wearing a flouncy, colorful, sundress with regular width platform high-heeled sandals...
  • to wearing crisp white pants without wondering how bad it looks.
  • to having sex again---really good sex without feeling self-conscious and wanting to cover myself up...
  • to going golfing with my husband in a cute little golf-skort and sleevless top...
  • to letting go of this feeling of defeat and shrowding...and really being ALIVE and VIBRANT in my life...
  • to taking LOTS of pictures and never hiding from the camera again...
  • to actually looking forward to the events at work and the weddings in the summer...
  • to feeling attractive and confident again...
  • to feeling "in control" of my self....
  • to getting to the point where life is more than food---dieting, dieting, dieting, losing, gaining, calories in, calories out, eating too much...
  • to FREEDOM from "weight".

It's an exciting journey. I can't wait until I can shop for "normal" size clothes, and too look "hot" in them also. Look out hubby!! :)
