Starting to love myself again

Surgery date: 12/26/14

Height :5'2

Starting weight: 250lbs

Current weight: 188

Pre Pant Size: 20-22

Current Pant Size: A VERY loose 16 :)

I can't remember the last time I wore a size 16. I look in the mirror and cant remember the me 62lbs ago. I never want to see her again. I have more energy then ever before. I have an amazing amount of confidence. So grateful for surgery. And so proud of what I have accomplished already. I know I still have a long way to go, but I know I will get there :)

I used to absolutely hate shopping and avoided it like the plague. Now I love the fact that I can walk into any store and buy clothing. I do not have to shop at Lane Bryant any longer.

Woot Woot!

Are similar. I was also 250 at 5"3' I am 15 months post op and down to 142. 2 elusive lbs from my goal. I'm in a size 5. Waiting for a date for my panni. I have found myself and love for myself again. Don't know where it went but I'm glad to have that love and confidence back again.

Great job on all your hard work!

You look great and I understand what you mean. Weight loss has been such a positive thing for me too. But you were beautiful in your before picture and you are beautiful now. Your smile is amazing! Embrace the changing you but always remember to love yourself no matter what.
