12 weeks in and 2 goal hit today

I am so proud of me today. It has been 12 weeks since my surgery. I hit 2 goals today, I lots 36 pounds so far (goal 1 was 35) and I am now under 250Lbs!!

 

I have gone in the following areas. My dress pants use to be a 22, and now they are 16. My jeans use to be a 24 and now they are an 18. My shirts use to be a 3x and now they are an 1x. It wont be long before I am completly out of plus size cloths, which I want more then anything by my wedding on July. I started shopping in plus stores at age 13, so I cant believe that soon I will be smaller then I was at 15. I already know I am smaller then I was in high School!

 

My next goal is to loose my 5 year old. He currently weighs in at 42 pounds. I am so excited for that. Something that I can lift and compare to how much weight I have lost instead of just saying "thats lots of bags of potatoes now."

 

Today, I am so proud of me. I was so worried, because I had to go private with my suregery. My soon to be husband was so supportive of the cost at first, and now offers more support then I could have imagined with my journey. My mom lent me the money.......... I was worried to let everyone down.

 

But today................ Today Im proud of ME!

    For two days I've been browsing around reading blogs and stories. Your entry is more than a month old, but it was the first one that made me hit the "comment" button to say thanks for sharing! Congratulations to you for meeting goals and appreciating those non scale victories!

    I'm going to get my surgery date on Monday, and I'm so excited I could scream! :P

    My five year old grandson weighs 44 pounds, and I've been saying for a month now that I can't wait to reach that 44 pound mark so that I will be able to pick him up and know what 44 pounds released from this body feels like when it's all packaged up in a little boy! lol

    I'm glad you shared here! Keep up the good fight!
