Wow.... now 23 weeks have passed since surgery! That is 5 months!!! Since my surgery I have lost 88 lbs, for a total of 137 lbs lost! It is kind of a strange feeling at times! Is it really me? Have I really done this? Have I actually had surgery? Just still very new emotions! I have to tell a little story here. I was at Walmart yesterday, pushing my cart, and I walked by a full length mirror. Fine, but.... the weird part was, I didn't recognize myself, I thought it was someone else! "Oh, I think I know that lady" Yikes... like I said... weird!!! I will have to say, I am enjoying buying clothes again. I am only buying a few things at the thrift stores so far, as I am still losing, but... I can just walk in and find something off of a regular rack!!! I am now wearing a regular Large! Yes.... there are no X's in front of the Large either!! Just a plain large size! How fun is that??? So... yesterday when at Walmart, they were selling off their winter stuff... sweatpants, sweatshirts, etc. So I did buy a pair of purple sweatpants... in a size medium!!! Yes... getting ready for next fall. I didn't notice, but I think the only color they had was the purple... like I said, I didn't notice any other colors! =) They were really nice ones and only $3.00.
I have spent quite a bit of time outside now.... working in my flower beds. I have neglected them terribly the last 3 years, just wasn't able to dig around in there... hard to bend over too. So it's fun to be out, and even getting a great tan now! =)
Well.... all for tonight my dear support system!!! Thank you so much for your continued encouragement!!! It does mean SOOOO much to me!
Love to all.... Eydie
