What a Scary Thought...

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

Well I thought I would share a picture of me a little early. Technically I'm not 6 months post op until November 2nd but it's Halloween and I'm dressed cute! :) This is me, down 101lbs, at 199 pounds!! I'm wearing size Large/X-Large/16 pants (depending on the type) and X-Large/18-20 shirts. It literally blows my mind to fit in such small clothing!! I also keep feeling more bones in my body that I have never felt... like my shoulder blades when I itch my back! Or my shoulders, period! It's amazing... amazing I tell you.

I dont know if I ever mentioned before about having to relearn how to bowl now that I am not a huge fat person. I'm finally starting to realize that I can swing the ball right next to my body and now swing it around my fat! :) My average is SLOWLY coming up and right now it's a 106 but last week I actually bowled a 189!!! I was in shock! It was awesome though! I've never bowled that good in my life.

I also started having a glass of wine here and there now and it's strange to get drunk off one glass of wine but, hey, I'm a cheap date! It costs a lot less so thats a good thing. I like that I can get quite buzzed and then because of my intestinal changes, it wears off a lot quicker. So like most people would be drunk for a couple hours... after about an hour or so I'm "losing my buzz." It's good though, I get to enjoy my wine, feel relaxed for a bit and then dont have to worry about stumbling all over!

So I realized, even though I'm a few inches shorter than Jon, I only weigh about 15lbs more than him right now! How weird is that? He has always been the skinny one... now we're so close in weight! I cant wait until I get to my goal and I'm skinnier than him! hehehe I looked at our wedding pictures and boy, did I gain a lot of weight in the 3 years from the time I met Jon until the time we got married. I was HUGE! I cant believe it because I dont FEEL any different... I mean, of course, until I feel some bones I havent felt on my body before, but still. So soon I'll be wearing Jons clothes!

I hope everyone had a good Halloween and all the kiddies had fun trick-or-treating. I wont be eating a ton of candy this year like I used to but looking at the 101 pounds I've lost... no piece of candy tastes as good as I feel or look!!
