I did something yesterday I have not done in...forever.

It was a dark and stormy night. And I'm not kidding. The weather was most foul. Cold, cold, cold, biting hard rain and wind. We took the kids (the daughter and her boyfriend) to a movie last night, deciding to have dinner at a Mexican place first. I was looking forward to carne asada or some kind of Soup. I had already prepared my "no rice no chips" mindset. The wait would have been too long, so we decided to head up the street (about 2-3 blocks) to Round Table pizza.

Somehow, by the grace of the weight I've lost and my ever-increasing ability to walk upright, I literally dashed up the street. I did not waddle. I did not amble. I did not whine and ask my husband to get the car. My ankles did not hurt. My hips did not hurt. I felt so good pushing through that nasty weather I actually felt like running. Holy cr*p! I WANTED to run!

I could hear my daughter and husband behind me going, "Mom's running! Look at mom go!" I made it into the restaurant before any of them. My husband was so proud of me he gave me a hug and let me catch my breath in his arms. It took only a few moments for my body to return to normal (no hard breaths, racing heart) and I made it through the dinner eating a personal-size extra crispy crust chicken garlic pizza. Comparing my itty bitty four pieces of pizza to "regular" size pizza slices, I think I had about 1.75 slices. Nothing got stuck. I had no trouble because I CHEWED and took little bites.

I had a huge snack at the theater. Three Milkduds. Not a whole box. Not two boxes. Three. And I was done. I love the way my band say, "Way to go, Darr! You just ate your fill of this treat and congrats on stopping right now! Oh, and baby cakes, if you don't stop now, you are going to sit through the entire movie with a golf ball lodged in your throat." It was wonderful to taste a little chocolate and caramel again. A little goes a long way!

Saw "30 Days of Night." Both the daughter and I are hankering for more back story on the vampires. They were wicked little beasties!

Darr, Congrats! I Love How This Band Makes Me Feel. I Was The Same Weight As You When I Started A Yr Ago. I Just Got Home From A Vacation. I Had To Fly On Several Planes And Was Hoping I Could Fit Into The Set Without An Extension. And Hurray, I Did. I Even Pulled Down The Tray And To My Surprise, I Was Level And Not Laying On My Tummy. I Could Even Cross My Legs. People Thought I Was Strange For I Was Sitting There With A Huge Smile On My Face.

Congrads, This Is Only Going To Get Better For You!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
