Yesterday I finally bought a new pair of jeans since having the surgery
in October! I've been wearing the same jeans I had before surgery, but
they look really bad now, way too baggy. They aren't falling off yet,
but the legs and rear end just sag. I bought a size 20 Jeans! And they
fit great! At my highest weight I was in a size 28 and they were
tight.... I have to admit, the thrill of fitting into a size 20
yesterday was greatly dimmed looking at myself in that full length
mirror. Seeing my clothes sag on me felt great, it showed progress!
But seeing myself in a pair of jeans that fit, really showed me how far I
still have to go.... not just to goal but to just looking decent in a
pair of jeans. And I've got a belly roll above my jeans line that is
still there, that really bothers me. I put on my saggy jeans again
after trying on the 20's and noticed that in those jeans too, the roll
is there, I just chose to ignore it. I was a little down last
night...... but I'm feeling much more optimistic today. I'm not going
to get there over night. And while..... 51 pounds is a lot to lose,
when I have THIS Much excess weight, it's not going to have as great an
impact on me as it would on someone with less to lose. My husband
suggested taking pictures each month so I can compare, which I really
should have been doing all along.
