Oh you look SO cute!

My reasons for loving fall:

A reprieve from the 100 degree weather

The State Fair of Texas

I love Halloween and all of the spooky ghost stories and scary movies

Chili made with Hatch peppers

High school football and homecoming

You look great! I love the fall too - I am in New England and that means pumpkin festivals, fairs, apple picking and fun stuff like that. The air is crisp and I love being able to put on a sweater! Have a great day :)

You look really nice. I love the fall too, here in San Antonio TX we have very very hot weather during the summer months. So now that the temps are falling into the 80s during the day and into the low 60s for the night, it's really nice. Last night i actually had to put blankets onto the bed, it got down to a cold 57F! Burrrrrrrrr (winter is on it's way) No more A/C on here for a while! Save on bills! :)

Cute, cute, cute! We have a ways to go until "fall" really kicks in around here. Today, frustratingly, we're hot again (not a surprise). Ah, well. I have boots, too, but will just have to wait on them a little longer. :-) You look great--enjoy wearing your fun outfits!!

THANKS!!! I am having so much fun with the new clothes I bought and the old ones that I had that I either never fit in or never looked just right. I think if I went shopping again I could probably fit into an 8 now because all the pants I bought just 2-3 weeks ago, I need a belt LOL. Not going to do it though for at least another month, so for the time being, belt it is and besides its fun to see how many notches I have to cinch it to. :)

My out look on everything in my life right now is "right". I look forward to the future, I look forward to my continuing health, I look forward to my son growing up, I look forward to becoming a Nana some day (hopefully not for quite a few years yet!), I look forward to becoming old and gray sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair with my hubby holding hands, drinking tea, as corny as that sounds. The best part about it all is that I can look forward where as pre sleeve the here and now was killing me to the point that I didn't "see" a future.

Thank you all for all the words of encouragement to me and to eachother. I can't tell you how many times I read something and thought, yup I'm going through that too and see the replies and get a new perspective on things.

      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!!
