I got to wear my new sweater today. It's pretty amazing to comfortably wear a 1x when last year at this time I was wearing a 6x.

I had a really good appointment with my vascular surgeon. I may have to deal with minor swelling ongoing but otherwise there's no permanent damage from the clots. He's also sending me to a couple treatments at a Lymphedema Clinic to help work the remaining fluid out of my legs. The best news is the fact he assured me the chance of every having blood clots again is very very low. He said it was the "perfect storm" of extenuating circumstances that led to it this time- major abd...

I had an awesome NSV tonight. I actually sat with my legs crossed!! I didn't even realize it at first until I looked down and went "holy sh*t!" First time in over 18 years!! YAY!!!

I had another great NSV. The day of surgery I was in a 54 bra, today I bought a 38!

I had my first stuck episode today. Apparently I didn't chew well enough, now 3 hours later it still feels like there's a lump in my throat. Ugh.

I had to even replace my shoes because they got too big. I was wearing a 10 wide, now my feet have shrunk to 8 1/2 regular.

I had to go out and buy liquid diet stuff. I'll be getting my first fill in 9 months tomorrow.

I have been stuck on a plateau for almost 3 weeks- since starting taking birth control pills. I'm beginning to wonder if there's a connection.

I have decided my body only wants 800-900 calories a day so I'm not fighting it. Plus, it's working. Lost 3 more pounds this week.

I have dropped another size in clothes. I'm now in a 12 shirt and 14 jeans. I haven't fit in these sizes sizes since junior high school. It's just mind blowing!

I have found my first and only downfall to losing weight- I'm running out of good fatty spots to give myself shots. I've got really ugly, angry spots that seem to last for weeks. I'm praying I don't have to change meds. Ugh!

I have lost 12 inches around my cage. I've gone from a 54 bra to a 42!

I have lost 12 inches around my rib cage. I've gone from a 54 bra to a 42!

I have no idea how, but I lost 8 pounds last week. WOW

I have officially lost over 150 pounds!! YAY!!

I have the worst craving for Apple Cinnamon Cheerios. How odd is that? LOL!

I hit a cool milestone this morning. I've officially lost more than half my body weight and I've lost more than I currently weigh.

I hit my final goal for 2012, to be under 250 pounds by Christmas. I weighed in at 249 this morning. Considering last year at this time I was over 400 pounds, I'm VERY happy!

I just bought a long pencil type skirt in a size 12. A TWELVE!! The 14 was too big!! I'm not even sure how that's possible but I'm so happy right now!

I just bought my very first size M women's shirt today. I'm so freak'n happy!

I just discovered Centrum makes an adult chewable vitamin. It kinda tastes like a baby aspirin but it's not horrible.

I just discovered pumpkin seeds are not a band friendly food for me. Ugh.

I just got a call from my surgeon's office, just making sure I'm ok after my fill yesterday. As I hung up the phone after assuring her I was eating ok and wasn't vomiting, I was reminded how very lucky I am to have such a good, caring surgeon and support staff.

I just got stuck trying to eat tomato soup. Not cool. I hope it calms and loosens over the next couple days.

I just realized today that I can easily fit into and wear my (very thin) boyfriend's sweat shirts. He said it was very cool and commented on how far I've come, however I don't think he's realized the ramifications of this new realization. My wardrobe just doubled.
