8mo post op, 85lbs down!

[myglassesareon 45]

Hi everyone!!

Just wanted to share some success! I've actually been really down lately about how I look. I keep saying I look the same and I still have so much more to go.

I wish someone had prepared me for the head games involved with this process. It takes a while for your head to catch up to how far you have come. My boyfriend suggested I do some shopping and it was the first time I really said to myself "wow, if I stopped here I would not be unsatisfied" and MEANT it.

Target shirt in a MEDIUM (whaaaaaaat! I was in a TIGHT 3xl), Uniqlo jeans in a 29 (they're really stretchy Ive been wearing a 10 lately and my waist is 33 1/2 inches)!

Anyway point of this is...take some time to let yourself enjoy your success. It's so easy to become hyper critical of yourself.

You have done an awesome job. Yes, the mental changes take some time. Love that your boyfriend suggested you go shopping!

Omg!! You look amazing!!! I hit my first stall after having lost 39 pounds and moped around for literally 3 days. I finally dusted myself off, and the weight loss is continuing albeit slowly. As long as my weight is going down... [or staying the same] and not going up... I'm a happy camper! You rocking it though girlie!!!

You look incredible!!! I understand completely from past weight loss efforts. I never saw that I had lost the weight. You in a size ten now - that's amazing. What size were you in he first photo?

@@kmsull617 I wore some VERY STRETCHY size 20 jeans, but in all honesty I was likely closer to a 26/28. My waist was around 52 inches at the time the picture was taken ???? I never allowed myself to be photographed (which I deeply regret now)!
