My husband says that my posts have been way too negative so here's a positive post just for him! My weight this morning was 148 which is 65.5 pounds down. I wear a size 10 jeans now. They are a little snug but the 12s are too baggy. I only have about 33 more pounds to hit my personal goal and between 23 and 28 pounds before I hit my doctor's goal for me. I have a lot more confidence and look like a completely different person. All of those people who told me I never gained weight in my face were liars. See for yourself. The first photo is February 07 and the second is March 08. Click on the photos to see them full size. The layout of my blog crops me out a little bit so you don't get the full effect.
Two weekends ago while window shopping at a local outdoor mall I popped into a Lucy store. I'd never been in there before but they looked like they had some cute, active/yoga clothes so I decided to check it out. An hour and a half and x amount of dollars later (I'm not allowed to tell you how much I spent because it was such a large amount. My biggest purchase to date in fact.) I came out with 15 or so adorable pieces that could be mixed and matched for working out and everyday wear. The sales lady, Heidi, was amazing and kept bringing me adorable items and grouped them into mix and match outfits. I tried these and these on in a medium size and was fairly happy with they way they looked even though they were body hugging. Heidi kept insisting that they were too large and grabbed a size small for me. I don't know who was happier when I walked out of that fitting room wearing a size SMALL. As if the size alone wasn't enough to make me smile from here to NY, they looked pretty darn good on me too! I bought them both! I bought one pair in two different colors. I know that they are stretchy but still...a small. It was such a great moment and also a learning experience. I left knowing how to not only get the right size but also the right fit. If you have a Lucy store near you I'd highly recommend checking it out. The customer service was amazing and all of the items are so well made.
Things are going well. I am healthy. I am down almost 70 pounds. I can do things with my body that I never imagined I'd ever be able to do. I have a lot more confidence and I look pretty damn hot in my size 10 jeans!
