ALMOST there

OK- when I say "there" I don't mean my final goal- but I do mean ONEDERLAND! Weighed in today at 204....I have been trying so hard to stay on track and push this extra weight off...I'm about 1/2 way to my actual goal- and saying as it's only been 9 1/2 weeks, I'm pretty proud to report that :)

 

I'm excited to go through my summer stuff- and toss/donate all the old clothes from fall/winter that are now way too big, and dig out the summer clothes that I've been storing for years (that used to be too small), telling myself that "eventually these WILL fit again". I'm down 3 sizes since my surgery- which is a great feeling...and even if it was an XL, I bought a new summer dress for myself in the juniors section the other day :) (little victories make this so much more fun!)

I'm a little worried that those that knew me best were right, that I've become so hyper-critical of myself that I'm still not pleased with what I see. I feel better- don't get me wrong, but I'm already mentally planning to get pretty much a full-body makeover when I'm at my goal. A plastic surgeon in the area does what he calls a "Mommy Makeover"...tummy, arms, thighs, boobs...SIGN ME UP.

Anyone else feel that way? Anyone else a little worried that you'll NEVER look in the mirror and just be happy with what you see??

    As long as you don't neglect the important people in your life I feel we should all feel good about ourselves. I can't wait to see onederland and I will save for a mommy makeover too. It is not that I don't like myself I want to do it because I do like myself and I want to be the best me there is.

    And congrats for the XL in the Juniors department. That is an accomplishment.

    Thanks for the feedback! I have had a few people say, "See I told you it was always going to be something" when I tell them that I want a Mommy Makeover when all is said and done and I hit my goal...makes me feel like I'm not appreciating the changes I am seeing, ya know?

    I think the exact same way, I haven't been happy with what I see in a while and when I reach goal if all that keeps me from happiness is removing a loose skin reminder of where I was at, sign me up too!!! :)
