20 kilo's down!!!!

Well I go there. I have shed 20 kilo's. I am absolutely dumbfounded really. I mean, where has it gone? I have almost lost the weight of my daughter!! It's amazing and I really can't explain how I am feeling. There are just too many emotions to describe it!! Ecstatic, relieved, happy, lighter, happier etc etc. I am sure I can name a heap more, but those are the ones that are coming to my mind at present!!

I went and had a bit of a splurge this week, well I should say a big splurge!!! I went shopping!!! WOO HOOO!! Us girls all like to shop, but when you have been restricted to 'big girl' and plus sizes for the last 10 years you don't enjoy shopping for clothes that much, but when you don't fit in 'plus' sizes anymore, it's a whole different feeling!! I was so ecstatic to walk into Suzanne Grae's and Rockman's and just fit into their clothes. It was such a great feeling!! I just want to keep going back for more because I know I can!! It's truly such a wonderful feeling!!!

On the subject of clothes and stuff, lets talk about shoes and shrinking feet. The last place that I expected to shrink was my feet / shoe size. I have gone from being size 9/10 to now a 7.5 / 8. Not that I am complaining or anything because I got to give away 14 pairs of shoes so i could make way for new shoes, it's just I hadn't even thought about smaller feet. But again, it's another ecstatic feeling!!

I spent most of the weekend going through all my drawers and walk in robes to remove the evidence of ever being a size 22 and it was a great feeling to just 'toss' it all on the floor. I went from having a full hanging wardrobe of 3 meters to about 30cm. I nearly passed out when I realised the the pile of clothes on the floor was as tall as me, but it wasn't a bad awful feeling, it was a great, fantastic feeling because it meant I had to replace them and go shopping!!!

I weighed myself at mum's on Monday and I weighed in at 106.5kgs, so the weight is still coming off, which is a good thing!! I've just been pretty slack about going to the gym, which is very naughty of me, I know!!! Maybe next week!!!

3 Months down!! YAY!!!

I had my 3 month appointment just over a week ago and everything is going fantastic. Dr Watson couldn't be more happier with the results and says that I am coming along superbly!! It's so great to see his computer system that tracks my results and then for me to actually see it and how far I have come in 3 months. It really makes your head spin!! I only had a smidge of a fill as I didn't think I needed mu more. What a difference a couple of mls makes though, but after a few days you hardly notice it, so I am glad I did get a little bit as my next appointment isn't for another 3 months!!

I am realty starting to actually see the weight loss now. It's taken me a while to 'physically' see it when i look in the mirror, but my brain is starting to catch up and notice it now, which is great. I am really starting to feel good and I can start to see it too, which makes the world of difference in your self esteem.

I went to an annual work ball on Saturday night, and when I was shopping for my ball dress, not only did I buy it 2 sizes down from what I normally get, I had to have it altered in the top part, which made me feel great!! And I must admit, I was looking hot!!

Another victory was when I have to have my belt taken in and have 3 sections pulled off at it was way too big and kept sliding down. Gee did that bring a huge smile to my face and made me stand taller. It was so exciting!!

I know I still have a way to go and I have only just put a dent in, but I am seeing the results which is making me more determined than ever to keep going and to be at my goal weight for my birthday.

I am down to 119.8 kilo's now and keep going down!!
