I finally finished my shopping!!! Monday I went to NY&Co @ the Galleria armed with a coupon, boy they know how to get you into the store. I found a style of pants that I absolutely love -- buy one get one 50% off. Hmmmm -- 45.00 for two pairs. Should I spend that much??? How long will they actually fit??? Well my coupon was for 30.00 off of 75.00 so guess what....... I could shop more and still pay the same amout, now it was well worth it! I got the most comfortable jacket for the office that is actually made out of sweatshirt material. Comfy clothing and 45.00 now divided by three pieces of clothes = 15.00/item -- now thats worth it, winter wardrobe is almost complete.
Yesterday I pulled out a pair of those new black pants and one of the new black shirts. I paired it with a leopard scarf and leopard heals ready to show off my new finds. I had KT take pictures since it was my two month anniversary and I thought I was looking good until I looked at the camera. How, after giving 26lbs back to whereever they came from, do I still look like Staypuff the Marshmellow Man???? In my eyes the pictures yesterday looked just like the pictures from July, I was crushed :( When I got to work things changed altogether. Many people that don't know about the surgery (as well as some that do) commented on how slim I look and how amazing that outfit looked on me. I even got an e-mail this morning from someone who wasn't sure it was ok to comment in public. She's soooo silly! Well, I thought maybe I had one of those "skinny mirrors" I keep hearing about deceiving me at home but now I know......... the camera really does add 10lbs (or I have the fat lense on!)

Jenni, you're doing great and looking great! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through another friends blog and just wanted to say how amazing I think you are doing - esp since you've had SO much to contend with at such a young age. Yet, you're always almost positive.
Hope that weight is still coming off for you: you seem to be doing great so far. Just keep at it :)

Thanks Linda, missed you last week!
ReplyDeleteHi Dash -- welcome!!! Thank you for your kind words. I am working at this weight loss thing, it definately has been a challenge but one that's been well worth it. Like you, I have a habit of eating too fast. gotta slow it down.
