This is what 267 Pounds looks like ....


I am officially over one week post-op and when I stepped on my scale today it said 267. So that's a big difference, just shy of 20lbs. Do I feel different? That's hard because I'm on a strict diet, so yeah I feel different. Can I tell I've lost weight? Nope. My husband can, and he is pointing out little tell tale signs to me, but I'm not sold. Call me the eternal pessimist when it comes to my weight, I can take it.

This picture you see here is me today before I walked the girls out to get Allie on the bus, then walked Cordi for about 20 minutes. This shirt actually went on today and was not so tight I could barely breathe. So hmmmm ... maybe I am seeing some signs. It's hard to tell when everyday I get on the scale I lose another pound. My brain refuses to accept that this is ACTUALLY happening ... so I think this might take some time for me to really adjust too. Who knows ... by then maybe I'll be 50lbs lighter LOL

My big observation for today is I must get a real jogging/walking stroller or I will not be able to walk everyday. The poor pathetic little umbrella stroller couldn't make it up curbs or through rocks at all, and it slowed me down. So if I want to keep a good pace, a new stroller is a must!
