I'm probably a bit strange in that there wasn't anything that lit the "must lose weight now" fire. Having been fat most of my life, it wasn't anything new. Tried and failed numerous diets and after the last one didn't hold, I basically made peace with being fat and enjoying all the eating that entailed. I knew that doing another diet would end the same way as all the others, so I should probably just embrace not dieting. I basically got fed up with the deprivation and the constant feeling of starvation.
Then someone at work told me that if you were over a certain weight, there'd be no 6 month mandatory diet for the surgery. Oddly enough? That was my go signal! I signed up for a hospital seminar that same night and started my surgery process. I have surgery on the 22nd of October! It's the first time in a long time I've felt like this time, it'll work.

I'm so excited, I finally hit my first self goal... is was 4 days short, but I'm actually really good with that! Having so much to lose to begin with, 50 lbs actually hasn't changed much clothing wise (bummer my pants still fit the same even though people swear thats where I've lost it all)... For the most part I'm still wearing the same size... We did family pictures yesterday, I did go out and purchase a new top for that and it was a 26/28 instead of the 30/32 I've been purchasing for the past 5 plus years. Speaking of NSV I also noticed the other day I got into the passanger's seat of my car and buckled up... I told my husband/ driver that the seat belt was in a weird place, he pointed out that I didn't have the seat belt extender on... (what it actually buckled??) So this week has been full of Victories... I can't complain 4 weeks out!
Although the constant pointing out where people think I have lost the weight has become some what annoying! No two answers are the same.. "I see it in your face", "I see it in your belly", "you've totally lost it in your arms" and so on... I'm trying to take it as a compliment, I must be losing it evenly.... one thing is for sure, I've had to tighten the laces on my shoes!
