Smile WOW moment

We wear scrubs at works and I was always wearing the XXXL pants and shirts.

Well now 64 lbs later I wore an XL today!!!

It felt SOOO good and I got a million more compliments! I was always an XL girl, but for the last 4 years I've been MUCH bigger. Today gave me a little taste of getting back to 'normal'.

I can't wait to even get past normal (overweight since I was 9. Usually between 205-210 my adult life) and see what THIN feels like!!!!!!!! I'm on my way!!!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Kelly,

That is great! Keep up the great work! I bet lots of co-workers are noticing also. I know they are for me. I'm not sure what to say or do though. How about you?

I say 'thank you' about 50 times a day (literally). I always hear 'you're melting away', 'you look so great', hey skinny', etc... I mean sometimes the same person will say it 10 times! I get asked all the time how I'm feeling and how much have I lost too.

To me it isn't what people say to me, it's the way they look at me. Especially if they think I don't notice. It's almost an astonished, shaking their head kind of disbelief look, but I mean that in a good way, with a little smile on their face. It just tells me that if someone has this look AND says something, I know they mean it.

I don't like attention, so it's really hard sometimes. But especially today I felt so great and it was nice that other people are noticing what I am. That means it MUST be real!

Kelly - I can totally identify with you!!! Think for a minute about your pre-op self. I was typically upbeat, reasonably friendly, etc but I get comments on how much happier I am now. It's no wonder, when we're not so darn exhausted all the time. I used to wake up tired! It only gets better

I wore scrubs for years and have only recently switched over to the business clothes side; last nite I was talking to a friend who had an interesting job lead for me. It would be working front desk again, which I did forever and kinda burned out on, but I'm so tired of sitting on my butt all day that it actually sounds good to me. I loved wearing scrubs before so I'm thinking it would be a good thing.....
