My Weight Loss Coming Out Party (aka: my law school graduation party)

I'm so incredibly excited for this Sunday! I just graduated law school last week and have my graduation party this Sunday.

Only two of my friends have seen me since I had the surgery (and they're the same 2/4 who know I had the surgery), but they saw me at the beginning of April when I'd lost only 30 pounds. I've lost another 30 since then!

None of my other friends and non-immediate family have seen me. I was a size 18/20 in August. I'm now a size 10 across the board.

Not to mention a former co-worker I've had a MASSIVE crush on for the last two years is going to see me SIXTY POUNDS lighter than the last time we grabbed drinks.

I've been making short term goals to keep motivated. I wanted to be in the 170s when I went to this convention in Philly (and did it!) and then wanted to break 169.9 for my graduation party. I'm at 170.2 today.

I know this post doesn't have much point to it, but I just had to Celebrate this with my sleever family. :)

Absolutely wonderful I applaud your great accomplishments both academic and personal.

After i got my paralegal degree, all my professors went nuts when i told them i wasn't going on to law school. Sorry but a 44 year old law student sound a bit..wasteful. and I really couldn't afford more student loans. lol I'm extremely happy to see you do well and make your goals a reality.

Very Well done indeed!!

:D :D :D

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
