10 month post-op update

[Tiffykins 673]

So, I'm a little late on this one, but not a lot has changed between month 9 and 10.

I'm wearing a range of sizes depending on where I'm shopping. Old Navy and Wal-Mart in a size 4-6, small to medium tops. Rue 21, and more juniory sizes I'm in a solid 7, sometimes a 5.

Life is good. I'm happy, healthy, figuring this stuff out is still a learning process. Things are tasting better these days, and some of my old stand by favorites have lost their luster. BUT, I am finding that I'm eating a very balanced diet including veggies/fruits/proteins/carbs. I'm short some days on Protein, and over on carbs, but I'm not stressing about the numbers with the exception of calories, and I'm staying between 1200-1500 per day.

I did buy a new dress (Old Navy) and super adorable wedges (Traffic) this last week.

I'm super stoked to be wearing springy dresses. This is all new territory for me as I've never worn this kind of stuff. I mean NEVER in my life.

Sleeved life is good. It's still a journey for me, I hope to keep this mentality up for the long haul. I still have bad days, do not believe that every day is perfect. It's not always easy, but thus far, it's been completely worth it.

Sorry it's blurry, the kiddo snapped these for me real quick.

I promise I know how to Iron as well, but I had been sitting in my truck for at least an hour before taking these.

He was making me giggle during this one so ignore the squinty eye thing.

I wanted to take a moment to say how awesome it is that you are very active supporting everyone here on the boards whether they are beginning thier journey or have been on it a long time and just need support. You are a great inspiration!

Wow, you look fantastic! I have a lot to lose, but you inspire me and make me feel like it can be done. I've also never been able to wear cute dresses like that, so I can only imagine how excited you must be!

If I knew how to type a whistle I would, LOL You look great girl! Dresses/skirts are my hubby's dream for me, LOL Matter of fact, I'll go post a pic of an outfit he picked out for me back in the day when I was about a 13 (after some very hard dieting), go check it out Tiffy, I want to be that girl again for him!! Well, actually smaller, lol, but I'll take that size as a first reward

Anyway, congratulations. You are such an inspiration and a great support to everyone here. You deserve every great thing that comes your way!!!!

Hugs,

Krystal
