Ok, so I like never post on here, I don't take pics, and I'm highly critical of myself. I barely even get on the freakin' scale because it bugs me so bad. Because I'm a perfectionist, my best is never good enough and I'm always pushing to do better. However, this journey is hard to ignore. I didn't think I was losing enough weight because I couldn't see the inches. I ran out of laundry today and was digging around in my closet. I ran across a few pair of jeans that I had been hiding from myself because I didn't want to be disappointed by not being able to get in them You see, these jeans were given to me four years ago and I couldn't fit any of them then and they were so cute. I could not bring myself to throw them away. I had been dodging the dredded things for quite some time. Well, today I had no choice. I pulled them off the hanger, squeezed my eyes shut, and proceeded to try and jam my leg through the pant. To my surprise, my leg slid right through. Before, I knew it I had the suckers pulled over my butt and were zipping them up. In shock, I did a double take and was like "Did I just put these on. O-M-G! I ran to the mirror and realized they were a perfect fit and I wasn't sucking in. This was the best day ever. In addition, my best friend persuaded me to take my first pics since right after the surgery and I was amazed at how much smaller I got. I never realized that my thighs were separating from each other. They became friends again and instead of wrestling, they were now high-fiving with each step I took. Absolutely amazing. I am now 66lbs lighter, and 2 dress sizes away from getting out of the plus size. What's even more amazing is its not even 90 days yet. God is truly truly good and this is not just the surgery at work here cuz I am losing crazy inches. This is Him working to help me realize my dreams and how close I am to attaining them. By the time, I am done, I will have completely reinvented myself. I will have gone from a house wife with no education, over weight with health problems, and losing all her hair to a mother of two with a Bachelors degree, down 170 lbs, and a giant all natural fro. A-mazing!
