So, I bought this dress in the beginning of October to wear to a wedding (size 18, down from, well I haven't worn a dress since I got married 14 years ago!) It fit, was a little snug, but it looked good! I wore it on Saturday night as my Halloween Costume, and it was big!

Went to see my Surgeon today. Have not been there since August.

Walked up to the window through a room full of very big people (no offense) and when I declared my name for my 3 o'clock appointment, the girls all looked up and shouted "WOW! I did not even recognize you! When you walked through the door we did not know who you were!" which got all the newbies in the waiting rooms attention.

Then, I'm waiting in the exam room for the Dr. When he walks in he looks up to shake my hand and he stopped in his tracks.

I could see the surprise on his face.

He said "boy do you ever look different"

Exam went quick and easy. Still in the green zone, no fills needed, see you in 3 months!

That's Fantastic ! Glad to hear your looking that GOOD !

My biggest NSV is finally feeling some confidence. I'm 5'1" and was weighing in at 263. I was miserable. I hated the way I felt physically all the time. It was difficult to get out of bed and I absolutely hated looking in a mirror. This morning I was down to 201 and wonderland is so close but in the past couple of weeks, the weight loss has slowed to a crawl but I am toning my muscles and realized that I feel good when I pass a mirror and when I am out in public, I don't feel so out of place and want to hide. I also finally got into a pair of 16's. All of this is wonderful. I also have a few friends who have been inspired by my success, and are wanting to have surgery. I'm giving them all of the knowledge I have and cheering them on. So for me, having some confidence and allowing myself to realize how far I have come just feels good. Now, I am pushing myself harder to make it the rest of the way but I'm not beating myself up anymore for being a failure.

I have been training to Climb the Sears (Willis) Tower here in Chicago for a Charity event on 11/6/11. Yesterday I climbed 2,200 stairs in under an hour. I still have a ways to go to goal but feel so strong and empowered! Yeah to all of us for making the decision to take our lifes back.
