Amazing

I think that its just amazing that having lost over 25 pounds since starting this whole journey, i still cringe at looking at pictures of me. I mean, 25 pounds is a lot of weight! Its my 2 year old to be exact. I had my big 30 birthday party last weekend and i thought i looked damn good. I had on a new dress (in a smaller size), new shoes, and all new jewelry. I felt good until I saw the pictures. Ughhh.

 

Oh well. I have had 3 fills thus far making it 5.5 cc's. I go for my next this Tuesday. Hopefully I will be up to 6 CC's at that point. I haven't really experienced anything of restriction although I did PB for the first time last week on a piece of pita bread. Weirdest feeling ever. So glad I was home!

 

Weight as of this morning: 196.5. Sllloooowly creeping downward. Its a lot slower than I thought but thats mainly my own fault for not following the rules to a tee.

 

I started a boot camp class a couple of weeks ago. Its 3 mornings a week for about 45 minutes. Feels good! Hopefully it will help tone up my jiggly parts!!

    Don't put your self down too much, you look good and you have done good, more weight loss will come. I too have to set some rules and start to follow them again, we all get lax at times, just hang on it IS coming soon!

    Happy Birthday! I guess my comment would be to look at your pre-surgery (before) pic and then look at that pic from last weekend again. With your weight loss, it will be much different.

    I think we don't see ourselves as any different. I think I read somewhere that psychologically (I know I blew that spelling) we have the "fat girl" picture and we can't see anything else when every body else can.

    Don't lose the pride, sense of accomplishment and self-confidence you gained through getting ready -- the makeup, jewelry, accessories -- you are doing a fantastic job and a fantastic thing for you and your future :-).
