Picture Me
OK, I've heard that people want to see pictures of little old me... well, here goes... and I'm sorry if my blogging doesn't match my picture. Actually, no, I'm not sorry about that. That's YOUR problem!
Updated: 01.08.06
01.03.06 -- Down a total of 156 lbs total from my highest weight EVER. (Down 125 lbs. from weight at time of gastric bypass
surgery 2 years ago.) This is just about 4 weeks after my hernia repair/tummy tuck surgery, where they took 7 lbs of skin and
stuff and much surface area off of me. This is also the very first time I tucked my shirt IN and went OUT in public! Also, the first
time for a belt! (Always had the "awning" or "tire" of fat to keep the pants up before...) And? Size 14 pants from the regular women's department at J.C. Penney's. Not plus-sized on the bottom anymore! Can I get a woooo-hoooo?!?!?
(And, by the way, my ass isn't that large in the side pic -- there's a shadow there!!!)
05.31.05 -- Down 110 lbs here, nearly a year and 5 months after
surgery. Size 16W skort and a 1X top... not used to wearing things
that fit that tightly on top. I'm really starting to hate my batwings
(flabby underarms) and some other flab you can't see in this pic, thank
gawd. I'd like to lose at least another 25 lbs, but my body has dug in
its heels and is firmly saying NO! right now....
11.22.04 -- Down 101 lbs at a little past
the 10-month post-op mark. Wearing a
size 18/20 Avenue top and size 18 Dockers
for Women pants.
09.17.04 -- Down 88 lbs at this point and
dressed in my brand-new size 20 jeans --
with ASS POCKETS! (I finally have a pair
of jeans that has ASS POCKETS!!! Woo!)
07.01.04 -- Down 76 lbs at this point and
feeling confident and curvy (and tan) in my
two-piece swim suit.
06.20.04 -- Overlooking the Wisconsin Dells and down 76 pounds.
4.27.04 -- Please 'scuse the shinies on my face.... I'm about 60 lbs.
down here.
4.3.04 -- Jon and Me (he's on the right) at his house. I know the pic is kinda large, but I don't feel like resizing it.
3.17.04 -- Down about 45 lbs. at this point.
1.22.04 -- Got a new hair cut because I needed
something new to match the newly evolving me.
I'm down about 15 lbs. here. This was taken
about 2 weeks after my gastric bypass surgery.
My beloved kitty, Lilo.
12.24.03 -- Taken right after church on Christmas
Eve. I was 315 lbs. here and it was approximately
13 days before my surgery.
5.3.03 -- Me and Jon (who is now my fiance). This was taken before we got on the train to
go to Downtown Cleveland for a WWE wrestling show.
5.18.03 -- Taken with "Even Colder", a Stone Cold Steve Austin
wannabe. This was nearly a year before my gastric bypass surgery.
2001 or so -- At my desk at school.
These days, that blue top is WAY too
large for me!!! Woo-hoo!
