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....

Congrats! That's GREAT! I have been wondering about that also, what to tell people when you've lost alot but still have a long way to go. I have about decided to take pride in everything pound and let them think what they want. It's not where I started but where I end up and so far I have lost a toddler. lol

Congrats that is awesome! I just got on the scale & I am pretty upset....I have only lost a couple of lbs since I weighed in on Oct 12th, which was 1 month post-op. At that point, I had lost 28.4 lbs. I don't understand why I have only lost a couple of lbs in 3 weeks? Any ideas? I have not cheated once! I am getting my water in & my protein. I don't understand & I am very disheartened.

Yall are funny and OMG you look sexy in your costume!!

Congrats! As for coworkers... who cares? At a meeting the other day, one of my coworkers got up and announced that she found out that she was diabetic and immediately made some life changes. How much did she lose on her own? 30lbs in 6 months? What did she just eat at the meeting? A CUPCAKE??????? I was quick to judge, just like they did when I told her and another coworker that I was having the surgery.

While I proud of both of them for making changes, they are not like me. I have been through the dieting and failed diets and the surgery is what is best for me. One of them even asked if I had life insurance.. (OHHH NO SHE DIDNT!!)

Office politics are just that... a bunch of bs! Let them smirk and make stupid comments, but I bet at least one of the fat ones will have a consultation!
