Belts

Belts

 

I never ever wore a belt before LB. My pants were always the elastic waist kind. I never tucked my shirt in ever! I needed to hide my rolls.

 

I wear belts now and I love my new waist line. I am alway looking for new belts to wear. I tuck my shirts in a it is nice to be comfortable in my clothes.

 

What a difference a year can make by using the lap band as a tool. I am down over 100 pounds and happier than I have ever been in my life. I am not fat anymore.

 

I was even called tiny yesterday. I have never been TINY LOL.

 

My head still does not see me as tiny, smaller yes Tiny no. It will take some time for my head to catch up I think.

 

I am not sure when I will reach my goal, I am not even sure what my body will want as a goal weight. I am still losing. Thats even after 3 un-fills. I do hope my body will fine it’s set weight soon. I am still very happy where I am now.

 

I am so glad I chose this tool and I would do it again if given the chance. Monday night I will speak to a newbie support group. I am a little nervous. My nurse said I have a lot to share and others would like to talk to me. I am just going to be myself.

 

I have found this site to be most helpful. I have enjoyed blogging and reading about the journey others have taken. Best wishes to everyone and wish me luck for Monday night. I have never been a public speaker. imaluckydog

    You will be fantastic Monday! People will be just in awe and will be taking notes so they can do exactly what you did and are doing!! You can hear your excitement in your words. I am with you about my mind catching up..it will take some time. I was called skinny minny..yeah right was the first thing that came to my mind! Then I heard a beep while I was walking so of course I got over in the grass..then I thought "the grass" I am walking on the sidewalk why would I get in the grass...it was some car that was going by! LOL Yeah one day my mind will catch up and I will be able to accept compliments from others than my husband and my 3 yr old. Take care and just be yourself on Monday!
