I had my 1st night out since surgery last night(7 & 1/2 weeks out)! I bought a pair of jeans size 14 (UK-I'm still not sure how this translates in US size, I think it might be 12 US??) and i could fit into them!! So I wore them last night with a pair of black stilletos and a loosley fitted top (still have issues with my tummy) I felt good about myself like I haven't in a long time. People commented on how good I was looking and I even had 2 cosmo cocktails (I know empty calories but i did put them on my calorie tracker, it added 1000 calories with all my meals yesterday, so not that bad). I just wanted to share with you that it was so nice to feel "normal" again. I know that I still have a way to go (I'm half way to my target weight), but this night out was a special occassion. I don't go out very often, maybe once evry 2 or 3 months, so I won't be doing this often as I don't want to sabotage my weight loss. I didn't get drunk with the 2 cocktails which I was afraid of so it was good all round!

Fantastic that you went out and enjoyed yourself. Congratulations.

YAY YAY night's out are the best especially when we feel so great about ourselves ! ! !

OOWEEEE!!! Baby, when I can fit into a pair of size 12 jeans, they'd better look out. It's gonna be ON! :thumbup1:

Keep enjoying yourself.

How wonderful! Never, never, feel bad about having a drink or two or going out. . it's wonderful to be normal. . . we all are worth it. . . we should never again feel "guilty" about what we do! I'm so proud of you! I have my rum and colas every friday and saturday evening. . and you know what I don't feel guilty at all! I can however only have 2 cause then i get loopy:001_rolleyes: I'm such a girl !!!! :scared0:
