I'm really, REALLY thankful for this journey. I truely believe I never would have been able to be a successful dieter without my RNY surgery. I feel extremely lucky to have had a positive experience with the entire process start to now. So please take this with a grain of salt - it's all good stuff...
All my clothes fit weird.
The butt is saggy. They're all too long. If I go down a size, the waist is tighter and I get a muffin top. Not a look I particularly enjoy. I know that it's a matter of weeks before I'm down another 10 pounds and the next size down isn't that far away but man, I'm tired of looking like a frump!!
I'm also cold much of the time and I know that's only going to get worse as the fat on my body comes off. I'm willing to deal with this one.
I want to buy cute clothes...I'm dying to, actually...but not knowing where I'll end up size-wise, I'm reluctant to purchase anything too nice or thing about things too long term.
All that being said - man, it's fun to have a long lean neck. It's so nice that folks are actually noticing that I'm smaller than I was. Church is where I get the majority of the compliments from folks that don't see me daily - and that's really fun. Supportive and loving comments about how great I look is a great reminder that yes, I am doing something good for myself and yes, it's paying off.
I am also falling more and more in love with working out. I wish my life had the amount of time I would need to workout to my hearts content but right now, I get about an hour 4-5 times a week. I am stronger. I am faster. It's not that hard anymore - it's just enjoyable. It feels GOOD to sweat!!
Life sure has changed in the past 4 months. I'm so so SO happy to be on this side of the change!!!
