Oh yes she DID!

6 LBS. THIS WEEK!!

Can you even understand how surreal this weight loss feels to me? And when I see myself in the mirror? And clothes that I haven’t worn in YEARS (yes, I kept clothes that I haven’t been able to wear in about 7 years) that are now TOO BIG?!?! Surreal, I tell you!

For the longest time since the weight started to come off, I put off trying on any old, too-small clothing for fear that they wouldn’t fit and I would feel discouraged. Over the weekend, I finally sucked it up and did. They are too big. Jeans that look ridiculously big. Shirts that just hang. My hips don’t hold up the pants and stretch the bottoms of my shirts tight. Things hang. The hips are finally dissolving.

I have seriously got to nail down my husband tonight and get pictures. I haven’t taken any since the night before my surgery. Wait till you see!!!

A couple little notes – First, I am only 9 lbs. away from weighing less than my husband. That will be the first time since we have been together!! We’re talking 18-19 years!!! I will weigh less than him! Now I think it’s becoming a competition of sorts where he has cut out having 2nds on meals, and trying to lose a bit…I will TOTALLY take him. I got this one!

Second, you can see my weight loss and progress under the ‘Progress’ link to the right :)
