Okay, so this was my OODT on Friday. The reason it was great is because we went to Arcata completely unprepared for a day in the snow. No clothes, boots, etc. But, because I’m now a “normal” size I was able to borrow pieces pretty easily and cobble together a nice cozy set-up. Very few people will know what a BIG DEAL it is. But I know you guys will. In addition, the actual snow play was so much easier! Just walking in snow. I avoided it for years because I was always wet, cold, and struggling with exertion due to my size and not being able to find decent gear at prices I could manage. This feels like a major milestone.

It is a BIG DEAL. Borrowing “normal” sized clothing and being fit/healthy to enjoy the day in the snow. Did you ever think this would feel so fantastic?

Enjoy this moment and NSV.

Good idea because I actually went to White House Black market recently and bought a couple of things. The whole store was 30% off that day so I got this cute athleisure kind of top. It’s a tank top with a cropped turtleneck like thing that goes over it. It is absolutely gorgeous. Anyway, my plan was to take good care of it but somehow it ended up In our regular laundry. It got washed one time. One time! It looks like I’ve had it for 10 years. This damn top was like almost $80 regular price. I was trying to treat myself for losing weight. I’m more of a target, Walmart shopper. Was not happy with the way it came out of the laundry. It is still cute and I did get a beautiful white turtleneck that I wear regularly. I have been washing that on gentle and it is holding up much better.

Is clothes Mentor online?

Errrrr. I had to look real hard to figure out who this was 😳 IDK but your selfies aren't doing you justice. You look a completely different size when photographed by someone else (who I imagine was also taller and happy to see you happy 😬)

Massive CONGRATULATIONS 💚 big NSV

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
