Default An unexpected WOW moment!

Okay I never come on here and tell my wow moments but this one definately deserves attention. For the last 3 weeks I have been at the same weight and getting pretty discouraged but I know that it is my fault and what I am doing so everyday I changed something I know I am doing wrong. I will get this eventually BUT for my WOW I must tell! Before surgery I was wearing size 26 pants and the other day I went shopping and found a pair of 20's that FIT! Like zip up and comfortably walk - fit! I was shocked and about busted with smiles. My best friend had surgery about 10 months before I and we were the same size for the most part so lucky me I am inheriting all of her "left overs". The bin she gave me mostly contained of 18's and below so I kept them in the closet and didnt even bother trying them on. Well....we just moved and I thought - ahhh what the heck so Friday I tried them on and you will never guess - the 18's FIT! They zippered and I could walk but not something I would want to wear because those suckers were tight BUT they fit and they zipped! I was floored! I havent been then size since......geez I dont even know when! So even though I am having a crappy time with being stuck I am now noticing my sizes changing. I finally donated my 24's to goodwill - dont think I will need those anymore - YAH!

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.

Congratulations!!! Way to go!!!
Now that it's getting warmer, go outside and do lots of things to give you exercise, and to keep you away from temptation.

YAY for 18s!

Honestly, that is my goal...to shop at a REGULAR store and buy my clothes there. Pounds don't mean a lot to me.
