Shook up Emails that are good make for great mornings.crvygirl said:Um....GOOD. Got an email that has me all shook up, in a good way. But it's still early.
I'm off to find some coffee. Have a great day!
88lbs altogether. The most recent things I've noticed. . . As I will for my wedding band and engagement ring. 
That was hard for me to see. All my life I swore I'd never see 200, then I did. I swore I'd never see 300, then I did. I swore never to see 400. . .then I did.

Down 2 more.
My In-laws have a set of chairs for the dining room table. They have arms on them and they are narrow. I sat down in one of them this weekend, something I never was able to do before! NEVER! If I even tried I couldn't get myself into those chairs. I can now! That was soooooo cool.
The ring my hubby bought me for Valentine's Day and we had sized for me, is actually too big and I'll have to get it resized again.
I feel so different about myself. I feel sexier. I am buying skimpier lingerie, smaller panties, garter belts and thigh high stockings! I even bought a corset! (Someday I may get brave enough to stuff my boobs in it long enough for an AV pic) . . .lol (I still think my boobs are too big).
Regrets?
Heck no! This was the best thing for me. It may not be for everyone. There are serious and I do mean serious risks for everyone and not everyone has a good experience from it. . .But I am so glad I did this for myself.
In April, we are heading to South Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky for visiting relatives, meeting a Litster, and going Caving. I can't wait to hit the caves. Last time I was so out of shape I didn't do as much as I would have liked to.
In August, we are heading to Yellowstone. By then I should be even healthier! Move even easier! Feel even sexier! I am so excited!!
I've never posted my largest weight here, but have given folks plenty of numbers to work with. But I'll post it today. A week before the surgery I weighed in at 403lbs. *nods head* Yes, 403lbs.
The morning of surgery I lay on the operating table and for a split second I thought. . ."Get up off this table and leave. Tell them you can't do this. Tell them you've changed your mind." Then immediately I thought. "Relax. You'll be okay and if not. . .you're never going to know." (I know, a morbid thought, but it relaxed me.)
Right now I am 315lbs. 12 away from gaining 20 years of my life back. 16 away from getting under that 300lb mark. 31 away from reaching the weight it says on my Driver's License. These are my next mini-goals.
Thanks so much everyone for your support, because you guys are such a big part of my stay-at-home-mom life, that I knew a long time ago, this was not something I could do on my own. I would and will always need support from my online friends.
