Life in general is just going so well. My lap band adventure continues and I love how reliably I get the results I want when I do the right thing (AND equally impressed how everything doesn't fall apart when I don't do the right thing.) I'm still really shocked and impressed that things actually work this way when they never have for me before (banding) but I'm definitely a believer now.
In other areas of life, things continue to go well too. My relationships are steady and stable. No detriment from my weight loss that I can tell. I am not looking to leave my partner now that I don't wear plus size clothes (how silly!) but I guess there are people who've found that to be an issue. Most likely people who didn't choose a partner that was right for them to begin with and just settled on someone they thought was "good enough" for them at the time but not "good enough" for the person they see themselves as after much weight loss.
Luckily, the person I see myself as hasn't really changed. In the physical realm too, I haven't started seeing the smaller person (a catch a glimpse here or there but it seems like an optical illusion.) But I'm not longer angry about that. I practice enjoying the ability to do what I want with my body more often than I ever have before and focusing on the positive really seems to help.
I don't really have anything great to post about today but I did want to put up a recent picture. This is from last week. It's the first dress I've worn in years (except for jokingly dressing as a drag queen last Halloween.)
Size 16 (I probably would have bought a 14 if they had it) from the NY & Co. Outlet store. $14.99! Can't beat that, right?
Oh yeah, and today I woke up and was 193.4. That's 80lbs if you're counting!
