Huh....I really AM getting smaller!

I have been doubting my own weight loss. Sounds weird I know but true. I've watched the scale creeping down over the past six months yet wasn't seeing much change in my clothing sizes. Then I figured it out the other day. When at my heaviest I could not wear any of my jeans couldn't even button some of them( think I blocked that out). I wore only stretchy roomy clothes. So instead of being the size 22 I had in my mind, I was actually more like a size 26. So the fact that my 22s are almost too big to keep wearing now actually feels like more of an accomplishment ! I went back to look at pre op pics of me from Christmas last year(the ones that sealed my decision to have this surgery, that I've kept hidden from my eyes since lol) and thought holy crap! I actually AM smaller! While I know I'm only halfway to goal ... I realized.....IM HALFWAY TO GOAL!!!!!! ;-) ye-ah!

This morn I weighed in at 201. Started at 270.

Thank! It was indescribably freeing when I realized how little I felt I'd accomplished. Then saw how much I actually had. Like I finally started breathing after holding my breath for as long as I can remember. Well. Guess it is describable after all. Lol.

K, congratulations...........keep up the good work................I see the scale go down, I see the clothing getting smaller, I can look in the mirror and see my body is smaller...........but when I'm in front of the mirror doing my makeup, looking at my face, I just don't see it......when I pull out my before picture, however, THAT's when I see it.

Sounds like you're doing an awesome job! I love grabbing a pair of jeans or shirt and thinking 'oh, that's not going to fit' and lo and behold it does! It's a great feeling to be smaller than you thought, isn't it? :)

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
