Well I hit a milestone today and didn't realize it until Brent made me start adding everything up. These are going to be some embarrassing numbers, but since I will NEVER be here again it can't hurt to put it out there. I won't give exact figures yet, but they are getting smaller.
I went to visit the surgeon exactly 6 months ago today on July 13. I have now lost a grand total of 40 pounds since then (17 since surgery and the rest was from before)!! I have 14 more to go before I really hit my first of many short GOAL weights, but this is a huge start.
I started today thinking I would buy myself something small to celebrate, but of course, I bought Cole Bennett some clothes instead. I should continue to lose at a pretty consistent rate and really have so much clothes in every size all the way down to a 10 so I should be good for a while. I am just going to look very out of style I'm sure. Its just my form of therapy that I have to go through. I have to physically be able to wear all of these clothes that I have saved all this time thinking that I am just "a few pounds" from getting back in. When in reality I was far from wearing them! So if you see me in "mom jeans" or clearly summer outfits...don't judge me! Just know that I cleaning out my closet:)
I am proud of you for taking charge and making healthy decisions for your family. I am struggling with maintaining control. I must get my act together.... Pronto!
