Today I fit into a size 9 pair of jeans!!! A size 9! I may not be losing weight very quickly anymore but the inches are still falling off and I love it!
I was a size 9 when I went on my first date with Jason! I quickly moved out of that size once we got together so this feels like uncharted territory. I feel so wonderful about the progress I've made!! I went to my 9 month check with Dr Westmoreland and he said that I am doing great! My thyroid labs are all normal and I have officially been off my Synthroid for 2 months! My thyroid is back to normal with my weight loss! How fantastic is that!!?? I'm now only taking medication for my stomach (Omeprazole) and a anti depressant (prozac) so I dont kill people ;) My Lupus and Fibromyalgia are doing pretty awesome too! I have been able to spend time in the sun with Anistyn and not get deathly sick which is a nice change. I still have some bad days but nothing like I used too. He said that at this point people should lose approximately 80 pounds and I am down 94 since August (when I started my journey) and 87 since October (my surgery). I was actually told by a co-worker that I am wasting away and they are worried about me. I still have more weight loss in this journey. I am still considered overweight. My journey isn't done just yet.
I came out in this outfit and Anistyn said "Mommy you look beautiful". That was the best compliment I have ever gotten. I am so thankful that she sees the confidence I have in myself and thinks I am beautiful. My main reason for this surgery was to gain self worth and self esteem. I am getting there every day.
