YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!
21 days after surgery and I've hit that first milestone. It's officially official! As of 6:05 am on October 28, 2015, I am under 300 lbs!
I'm ecstatic about it! I promised myself I would do something once I got under 300, but you'll have to weight for my video update to know what it is!
I returned to work yesterday, and it wasn't so bad. I was tired, but not as exhausted as I thought I would be. Speaking of work, we're having our Halloween party with costume contest today, I'm being something from the 80s so I decided to wear a pair of jeans that have always been a little big on me. Only now, they look like this...
I should get rid of these
For me the significance of being under 300 lbs is pretty big. Pun intended. I have no recollection of gaining weight to the point of being over 300. I just remember going to a doctor appointment in high school and being told I was 354 lbs, and immediately wanting to cry.
Decked out for a high school dance...ahhhh 1999 in full effect
Being on what I felt was the edge of 400 lbs made me feel terrible about myself. But today, I can forget that feeling! Today, I can feel good! And...I AM NOW IN THE SAME HUNDREDS OF LBS AS MY DRIVERS LICENSE SAYS I AM!!!!
*I just checked my license, I must have been honest at my last renewal. I now weigh LESS than my license says!
