Howdy!

Today is 4 months....

down 81 pounds from highest and 66 from day of surgery!

I am feeling great....wearing size 16 bottoms and either a large or XL top. I had to buy all new underwear - size 8 thank you (underwear sizes are in their own world, and an 8 is for sizes 14-16, but I am not gonna lie...loved seeing the size 8 on the package!!)

I am still struggling to drink as much Water as I should.....I am trying!!

chips go down WAY to easy...gotta watch that -

love all things seafood.

And then they ask you..."So, how much weight have you lost??"

I have been very honest with everyone, told them about my surgery....

If I can help ONE person in their journey - then yay....

But I balk here....

Early on, spoutin' off 20 or 30 pounds was awesome....

I DOn't wangt to tell work associates or acquaintances I have lost the equivalent of a German Sheppard off my ass!!

I Celebrate that with my girl friends, but co-workers are a different breed (pun intended).

The bitchiness is not appreciated, nor do I want to see raised eyebrows as they look at how much further I still have to go and strain to do the mental math to see I was a 300 pounder at one time....

Gosh NO!

ANyway -

That's my monthly check in.

Going strong....going to try and get some intentional work outs in.....

Glad to be a success story.....

Still have never been in pain or puked...

Just get REALLY full REALLY easy -

Pretty awesome huh?

Oh - here's a pic of my Halloween outfit....I chose not to wear it out of the house....9-10-c.bmp

Omg you look Stunning . I so understand about the coworkers I won't tell mine as well but I'll tell any other ppl lmao.

They don't need to know the numbers. People don't look at a person and say 'oh she's lost 5lbs!' What they see is the inches... the smaller clothes, the collar bones, the shape that comes from the loss of fat. I'd feel comfy saying I went down X sizes, but other than that, it's none of their business. Just say quite a bit and still working at it... then nod and smile until they feel uncomfortable.

Dang you have Marilyn Monroe curves girl..strut your stuff!!!
