1 Year done

[Jessiegirl30 149]

On the 4th April it will be 1 year since i had surgery so i have deceied to update if any one wants to read

I am now a size 14 ( US 12) my biggest i was a size 26 ( US 24) so i am super stoked with that, i can pretty much go into most stores now and buy something with out having to go to plus size only... though i still have all my extra weight around my stomach/hips so sometimes i find tops a bit tight and i have massive boobs lol they have decreased in size of course but they are still big lol ..

If I could go back in time to my early 20's i would make major changes and just do it with eating right and exersize i would not recommend this path for anyone who is young or who hasnt tried everything else first .. I wish i had known how hard it would be and even 1 year out you can not eat any where near a full size meal when you go out, and that you can't drink with meals and that anything too sweet makes you feel so sick i wish i had known that you have to exersize your butt off and it takes real will power .. yes the surgery means you cant over eat but you still need to exersize... this was all explained to me and told to me by everyone before i had the surgery but i was like yeah yeah it will be easy ... the one thing i will say is THIS IS A CHOICE FOR LIFE ...

After saying all that though i am glad i had the surgery i guess i am just saying think it thru carefully and make the right choice for you

i am finally no longer the "fat" one and that takes some getting used to i am now average i have never in my life been average and only in the last 2 weeks or so have i actually seen myself as a smaller version of myself.

I still have 50 odd pounds to go and it is getting very hard to shift this weight but i will get there

and in other news hubby and i are planing our next holiday on October we are going back to the states ( we go married in Las Vegas in 2010) and are super excited we are going to LA, New york, chicago & las Vegas so its great to have a goal to work towards I hope to have lost most of the 50lbs left by then so thats my focus ..

oh and btw if you didnt know i am from New Zealand
