Best compliment yet

Sunday, as always, Monty is at church before us to practice. This week I was going to take photos for everyone who wanted them before a s after church. I was set up and just waiting for people... I stood there with the kids and Monty finally walked out. I was wearing a new outfit and Monty knew nothing of what I was wearing... He walked out and kinda towards us, then not, then finally we met up. He just looked confused .... And apparently he was.

He said he looked over, walked the other way, then realized he thought it was Qyn standing there... Then maybe it was the girls. He didn't know who they were standing with... And then realized it was me.

It floored him that he didn't know who I was. Me too.

Who knew

I'd get to this point?
From XXL?

Never thought I'd get here

60 pounds lighter.
I just thought I'd be doomed to being the fat girl forever.
I even doubted the surgery. How could my luck be good enough to loose a lot? Why do I deserve success?

But I'm here! I did it. I.... No one else! It was me. I still have a ways to go, and I've slowed down. I need to pick it back up. I have made a bet! Gotta give it a go, Chesnee has big money on the line -- $10! She's one of my biggest cheerleaders so I've gotta make her proud.

May 4.... Be 70 pounds down. That's a month. I get a fill next week so hope that takes away several pounds. I want to try to walk on the treadmill soon. Do something extra for me.

Praises

I have had quite the outpouring of support. I posted my full length photo on Facebook this Sunday and it was a constant stream of compliments. It felt sooooo good to have others see the change.

This week also hit the big 6-0... GONE!
