a year ago I was so traumatized every time I got an invitation to go anywhere because I knew I would not be able to find clothes that looked good on me.. The last event I attended was a dinner for our Congressman.. I had to wear a black dress that looked like a moo moo and I felt like mooing... got an invitation to go to a fund raiser tonight and it's a western themed bbq so it's blue jeans and boots.. I just bought new boots and I can now wear skinny jeans.. I am so excited to be able to just slip them babies on and go. I will try to get photo's.. I am also thankful for my new life and how much fun it is to go places without stressing about what I can wear. love it. I also might add I have tons of energy and am anticipating Spring arriving so I can get outside more. I have tons of yard work to do .

I know I already posted a NSV a few days ago, but I have to include one that happened just yesterday. An averaged sized man came through my line at work, eyeing , but not buying a candy bar. I teased him about it, saying that " a little bit of chocolates good for you, I have some everyday !" He looked at me and said " yeah, but you can afford it, you're skinny !!" ( Um, thankyou , sir !! ) EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You could of knocked me down with a feather !!!!! I am NOT " skinny" , I'm 5'3, 160 lbs, healthy looking, but have been told I dont look it. It' s been a looooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg time since anyone called me skinny !!!! Thankyou Lapband !!!!!!

I know that a NSV isn't about the scale, but mine kinda is...I don't have to bend over to see the numbers on the scale!

I've missed all of you, I've been going to school. Anyways, this week I had an NSV! A lady at work was giving some nice jackets away, size Large. Normally I never looked at them. Then it dawned on me to look. I picked one for me, and it fit! I'm still in awe!! Thank you Band!! Yay. :)

My NSV was at the gym. As a creature of habit, I usually use the same elliptical. It's not under the fan, it's not on the end, and there's no mirror in front of it. (For those of you who watch "The Big Bang Theory," you could say I'm kind of like Sheldon and his SPOT on the sofa.... LOL). Anyway, today I had to use another machine, which happened to be in front of a mirror, which I'm not used to. When I was getting on the elliptical, I looked up and thought, "that woman has a nicely shaped butt." Guess what? IT WAS MY BUTT!!!!

Oh my god, that is hilarious HealthyNewMe! I was already feeling a little weepy from reading some other wonderful posts and now I'm laughing crying! Oh, that's my bottom! And Pink Dahlia, what a great NSV, you skinny thing you. KC Gal, our scale is positioned with a huge mirror off to the left. I stand on the scale and check out my pooh bear profile and now I notice if I really suck it in I can see those numbers down there, too. Total victory over the scale in an NSV kind of way. Shazam, hope school is going well -- and enjoy that jacket. So nice to be in "normal" sizes, isn't it? Yippee!

I went shopping last night with a friend. I ended up buying a skirt. It was a regular XL...not in the "plus" section. Not in the "womens" section. Just in the Ladies department. I also put on a pair of pants that didn't have a W behind the number. Not quite there, but it's going to be soon :)

Have a great Friday!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
