I sat down in a Recliner, and instinctively went to Cross my Legs. They CROSSED !

I have not done that in years !

Guess I got some catching up to do.

I am able to wear clothes I haven't worn since 2008 when I quit smoking and gained 58lbs.The clothes actually look like they are a little loose for me and they are 2x.I wore a 3x before I started my journey.I have lost 34 lbs.

I also very recently had a plateau breakthrough by reassessing my diet and eating only lean meat (chicken) steamed veggies (organic) and oranic fruit plus salad/raw spinach (oragnic) without dressings.< /p>

I think I was eating too many soft slider foods but now that I am clear for real foods I am adjusting what I eat yet again.I have only had 1 small .5cc fill and I get another fill Friday November 11th,which will be a larger fill like a 1.0 cc hopefully!

Congrats ! Chubbywithmuscles... That's a big one..

Better to see the clothing size go down then the scale (I THINK) Then you see the difference.

We have a clothing site on the Forum if your interested in the future of getting rid of those cloths that will never fit you again.

Believe it ! No matter what size you are someone is always trying to get down to wear you started from.

I'm down to a 20 in Jeans, and most women are starting around this size. I was up to a 5x. So every little bit helps.

I just tell them to pay the shipping, and it's yours. No regrets or looking back. Just to let you know. :tea:

Doesn't that feel wonderful ! I did the same thing. I have cloths in my closet that are 14-16, and I haven't worn them in years. I'm looking for next summer, because they are cute summer cloths.

I'm wearing a 20 in Jeans now, But I have a bag full of 18s where the tags are still on them.. I am about to trip over my Tongue ! I can't wait to get into that size, But 1 step at a time right !

Got told by my coworkers, that I looked "slammin" in my size LARGE dress yesterday. This time last year it was a 2x. Ring size is down from a 7 3/4 to a 6. Also had 2 teenage Wendy's workers, come to the drive thru to check me out....I am old enough to be their mother. Best ego boost!!

I can't think of any new NSVs for me lately. Many of the same old ones keep happening and I don't think I'll ever get tired of them. :) I do love reading everyone else's NSVs though. It helps me stay motivated and makes me happy for everyone.

I finally hit the teens again! Bought a pair of Silvers in an 18 :). I'm pretty sure I made my last clothing trip to Lane Bryant, everything I bought was a 14/16! I got in a size 16 skirt! Last but not least I fit into fit into a size large dress I bought back in July for my upcoming trip to Las Vegas!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
