Gooooodbye To Sandra Dee!

blogs/blog-0914086001340850922.jpgI was driving home the other day from an event (I own a photobooth company) and was listening to my Grease Soundtrack and Olivia sang it out ........."Sandy, you must start a new, don't you know what you must do". "Hold your head high, take a deep breath insiiiiiiiide"....."Goodbye to Sandraaaaa Deeee". I thought how fitting and think that will be my new montage. Although I've lost 59lbs, I'm still not to ONEDERLAND, I'm still living in TWOterville (and my hubby can attest to that in more ways than one!)

 

When I got home and started uploading my pictures from the event, I flashed by this picture and realized it was me! I fully understand most people who see this picture would say I have a lot more to lose. Indeed I do, however sometimes I actually forget that I've lost almost SIXTY freakin pounds! That's a lot of double chins that are gone, let me tell ya. As with so many diets I've put myself through, I've always taken monthly pictures. I chose not to do that this time. My plastic surgeon yelled at me and said I should keep progress. Progress to me is looking six months from the time I had surgery and flashing by a picture and seeing, "wow, I'm really doing this!" I know I have a long road, but I can say with confidence, I look good!

Take pictures. You won't regret it.

Wow. Congrats to you. Yeah, definitely take some pics. Even for the simple fact of just taking part in your life; birthday parties, picnics etc. it is shocking looking back over my life and if you went by photo evidence only it would look like I never went to anything.

Mags, you look awesome! What a beautiful smile. I agree with Jerseygirl82, take progress photos. I too, shied away from the camera prior to lapband surgery like so many other's. Shame on us.
