It's Happening

I am 5 weeks post op and my first fill is next Monday. I have not put too much focus on losing weight but more on healing. Yesterday my daughter says "mommy, you look different". Well I did not feel different. The last time I weight myself I was stuck. I thought that was ok, my body is adjusting, it will catch up to what I'm trying to do. Also yesterday I was wearing my "FAT" jeans and I had to keep pulling them up. At the end of the day I can take them off without unbuttoning them.

This morning I was curious and stepped on the scale. I lost a total of 25 pounds so far. I thought ok, this could be it, it's happening, I'm losing weight. Still not so excited because I have been at this weight before. The real magic started when I thought I would try on my "Skinny" jeans. A pair of jeans I have had for over a year and have not been able to wear then because of my size. I put it on and button it without any problem. Then I got excited!

I am on my way to greatness.
