1 size down, 18 more to go...

Ok so I don't have a set size I want to be when I am done losing weight. I am not hung up on numbers or labels. I just want to be healthy, sexy and confident. Not much to ask for...

I went to Penningtons today. I tried on some clothes in different sizes to see where I am at. I have dropped 1 size. I have to admit that I am not so perfectly fitting into the new size that I could wear it today exclusively, but I can button up the tops and I can see the beginnings of my inner goddess!

I am discovering new and wonderful things about my body since losing 75 lbs. I won't get into the dirty details but I have to admit that I am happier every day with the changes I am experiencing.

I am getting my labs done tomorrow so I can see if these liquid vitamins are doing me any good.

I have started to think about my clothes that are too big now as well. If anyone has any ideas on how best to part with them, I am open to suggestions.

I have considered consignment, donation to the Mustard Seed, donations to other patients awaiting their weight loss surgery... the list goes on.. I just want to make the biggest impact and do the best with what I have. Even if it means padding my wallet for the clothes I will eventually need to buy...

I am going through this wave or phase thinking about getting back into dating, relationships and checking out the single guys I know. It's so frustrating because I know myself well enough to realize that I won't be putting myself out there anytime soon. I need more time to adjust to my new life. I am learning new things about myself every day.. hardly the best time to let someone in to get to know me. I am changing so much on the outside but I am also rewriting my lifestyle.. Lauren and I are planning a hiking trip next summer. Hiking. Not something I would have considered a year ago but something I am so looking forward to now.

Its amazing. I loved my life before surgery.. but I had no idea things could get even better...
