I started my day not to well. I really need to stay away from the scale. Some days down some the same. I know you should only weigh once a week but I think I went a little crazy.

Dropped the kid off daycare and headed to work. About two hours later I was walking past the nurses station and one of them yells "congratulations Kris" I turned around and asked what for. She said you look fantastic how much have you lost. I told them and they where super excited and said they haven't noticed because I always where clothes that are super baggy.

A reminder, nobody knows at work about the surgery but they know I have been working with a nutritionist. I told them I just need to get the exercise stuff down and one of them told me she is at the gym every morning and I could join her anytime. Maybe when the doc gives me the clear I will take her up on it.

I told them I just went out over the weekend and bought a couple shirts and stuff. They told me it was nice to see me in clothes that show off my body. ME!! A body to show off? I never would have thought. Then I thought Damn girl at the beginning of this you where a size 24 and the clothes I just bought are a size 18.

I can do this! I need to focus on how I feel not the scale. This has been a long 7 months (6 1/2 months dr and nutritionist before surgery).

I saw my Bff and her hubby over the weekend at the armed forces day parade and when we said good bye she was teasing me that I was going to waste away and her hubby even told me I was looking great (I hadn't seen him in awhile). That felt good. She is just starting her journey in to becoming a bander. She has 6 month program to do as well. I hope to get her on here.

I know I have rambled on but bottom line started bad with scale but ended great with "someone noticed".

I can do this......you can do this.....WE can do this.
