What little changes do you notice?



Recommended Posts

Let's cheer each other up with little non-scale victories!

For me this week:

  • Going to put on a white blouse in the morning and realizing that the only bra that fits me is purple. Oooops!
  • Sipping a Protein Shake through a colleague's birthday lunch in which everyone was eating burgers, fries, onion rings, brownies, and drinking mocktails. I got through it and even had a good time! (but please please don't have them schedule another one anytime soon.) :)
  • Dashing off to a meeting and actually walking out of a shoe because they're getting too loose.
  • Wearing three outfits I haven't worn in over two years and getting a lot of compliments.
  • Upping my fitbit daily goal to 12,000 steps
  • Being in a room full of people who haven't seen me in about four months and having a few do quick double-takes.
  • People commenting on how they like my new haircut when I've done nothing to change the style.

What are little changes that you're noticing?

I have my postop appointment with my surgeon tmrw and the only pants that fit me are basketball shorts because of the drawstring....It's 35° out.

I can put on my own socks.

I can't wear a bra because of my one incision being so high up and on my bra line....My shirts are all huge on me and I will look like I have pancake boobs haha.

People tell me I need to get some new clothes. Chair arms that used to dig into my legs don't touch my legs anymore. I keep having to move my car seat up. My pants are all miles too long. My sweaters are turning into sweater dresses. One guy at work calls me the amazing shrinking Carolyn. I love every bit of it even though I've been hungry all day every day since 12/9!

Being able to shop at non-plus sized stores, and not having to wear the biggest size.

Running!

Not being the biggest person in the room all the time.

Finding old clothes in my attic that finally fit.

Being able to give away most of my clothes.

Feeling my ribs and hip bones.

Just to name a few! :)

Looking in the mirror and seeing my collar bone.

Wearing a size 13/14 from a 24...and they are becoming loose.

Having my husband look at me in shock with a smile on a daily basis...not believing his own eyes.

Not shopping in the plus sizes.

Thrift shopping is so rewarding ...ladies sizes are more plentiful unlike plus sizes.

Feeling full/staying full.

Feeling sexy and I know it!! ;)

      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!!
