LeslieLintner's Journal

Been a little preoccupied lately so I have not written here lately. I have weathered the storm and most of my swallowing discomfort, nausea and vomiting has abated without surgical intervention! Hooray! I was getting discouraged, but it seems like the literal 3 mo mark made all of the difference. Now I just need to stay focused on the prize.

In about a month I will be heading to Tucson. It will be the first time since before my surgery that I have seen most of my friends there. I am nervous and keep thinking what if they do not notice the 100 pounds (should be there by then) of weight I have lost. Then I look in the mirror and I see the sagging skin under my chin and I wonder what they will think. I am buying smaller cloths because what I have now is at least 2 or 3 sizes too big. you know, I look in the mirror and I see a thinner, smaller me. But every once in a while I catch a glimpse of myself when I am not looking and I see a 250 pound fat woman there. I hope some day soon to have left that image behind.

I am officially in a 1X from Roamans and I am wearing a 20-22 from Walmart. For that I am thankful I really can't wait to shop at some different stores once I get to Tucson. I just want to not that my measurements are a little askew. My bust and waist are the same...gag and my hips are 5 inches bigger. No hour glass shape for me... LOL. I have lost 17 inches from my hips including my hanging  abdomen, 8 inches from my waist and 14 inches from my chest. Too bad my bust is the biggest looser. When i finally contemplate a tummy tuck, I might have to consider a breast enlargement too. Thanks God for padded bras. Need to get me one!

Here is a funny note, I finally ordered my first lipo in a box under garment. I think it will help with some of my skin issues and lumpy fat areas...I will let you all know.

So, I am going to continue to be a looser...go loosers!
