Vacation....success!

Well, we spent last week at Disneyland and it was so different for me then the last time we went! We usually hold season passes but ours expired early in 2010 and due to me having the surgery this summer we waited until last weeks trip to renew them. I just have to report that I was feeling pretty dang good, I was less self conscious I was actually pleased with what I saw reflected when I passed by the shop windows. I just felt so much more comfortable in my skin. I was rocking my new size 10 pants and I actually had packed a couple shirts I had not tried on in awhile and they were long and loose on me. I had no trouble grabbing the fitted t's out of the gift shops and wearing them. I just can't say enough about how I was able to just chill out and enjoy myself. I am feeling more and more like "me" each pound that I lose. I still want to lose between 15-20 more pounds but I already have family questioning me as if I am small enough already.

My brother-in-law spent the day with us at Disney and I got to meet his new girlfriend and I wasn't feeling low and hard on myself. My bro-in-law had not seen me since before the surgery and he was so supportive of my current results. When I told him my starting weight he couldn't believe it. I actually even showed his girlfriend and him my before photos on my phone and they couldn't believe my body had changed that much in 10 weeks.

I am rambling as usual... it is just so foreign to feel like yourself again after so long. I still have some work to do I want to be a size 8 and maybe occasional 6 so I need to continue my excersize and diet guidelines. I indulged a bit too much last week but thanks to the sleeve it never let me get too out of hand lol. I maintained weight so I just need to move forward from here.
