Fat girl nightmare realized and conquered!



Recommended Posts

This morning I got up, got dressed in the cutest new outfit (size 12 AEO skinny trousers, medium white top, medium Ann Taylor sage green crop jacket), hopped in my car with my cup of coffee and a list of things to do that gave me not a moment to deviate from schedule and started my day happy as a clam. Got almost to my destination, took a swig of coffee and spilled it all the way down my shirt. WTF?!?!?! As I was cleaning myself up and cussing up a storm, I noticed more coffee on my pants. As y'all former fatties know, we can't just run into any store, grab a quick outfit and move on with our day, especially at 8 in the morning when no fat girl stores are open and I had no time to run home. (Won't even talk about the expense IF you could find something that fit.)

Into Target I went! Within 10 minutes I was back out of the door, bag of clothes in hand that freaking fit! And didn't cost a fortune! In REGULAR sizes! Are you kidding?!

Best freaking coffee spill ever!

I'm a normal person! NORMAL!!!!!!!!

Whew! Ann Taylor has become one of my favorite places. I almost cried the first time I bought a top there! I was so thrilled! One of my other favorites is Talbots. Do you have those in your neck of the woods?

      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.

      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!!
