Do you ever just feel AMAZING??

May 08, 2014

I say this over and over... if I had to do it all over again... I TOTALLY WOULD!  I went to San Diego this past weekend.  Airplane seats were NOT an issue.  I was able to tighten the seat belt and NOT need the extender!  Half of my friends barely recognized me and kept telling me how great I looked!  I still feel large and not in charge... however, I like what I see most days!  Being able to buy 2 (because they were on sale) x-large shirts at old navy for $13.99 versus $30+ for one shirt at LB or Torrid!  I'm just still not used to trying clothes on and needing a size smaller.  Wearing 14/16's in pants feels so much better than wearing 24/26's!  Feel like I get noticed by people in a positive way versus some of the looks I got before.  Not that they mattered but they hurt none the less.  Now, we are waiting to hear when my husband's date will be!  It'll be nice to shrink together.  He has more medical indications than I did.  I was borderline everything.  He has the high blood pressure, diabetes, lymphedema, sleep apnea, etc etc...   He gets looks like I used to.  He is bigger than I was.. but the looks he gets sometimes makes me hurt more for him than the looks did at me.  He's always been a big guy.  When we moved from San Diego he was pushing the 600's... but he's lost a lot in the past three years... He's in the mid 400's and he's an active guy.  So this will really help him.  Look what it did for me and my self esteem.  I am going to love seeing him be the guy he dreams of being... and now it's only a matter of time!  Life just keeps getting better and better!
