So this weekend was Memorial Day weekend and we had our Second Annual Memorial Day party! And it was a blast I thought for sure I was going to eat to much and not lose any weight this wk. But I was good and managed to lose! Yay me! I have been getting quite a few compliments lately and I am enjoying them dont get me wrong hehe. It is just so weird to hear them because after being the nice sweet fat girl for so long you still see yourself as that nice sweet fat girl. I am still that sweet girl inside, I dont want people who dont know me to start to think differently of me because I have lost weight. I have the biggest heart and tons of love to give.
Well at the party I had many people that havent seen me in quiet a while do a double take because they didnt know it was me or didnt recognize me, My family friend Mattie pulled in to the parking lot and didnt recognize me standing in the car port. Until I walked to her car and gave her a hug then she realized I was the same girl who she saw standing over in the car port lol.
My best friend from college Johanna says to me "Excuse me miss, have you seen my friend, Shauna?" LOL she hadnt seen me since Feb.
Best part of the day... when Stephanie came to see me, Stephanie and I met online before all of this started and she was one of my go to people for info and education when I needed to have questions answered! She was also a patient of my Dr as well so we have something other than normal life to bond over. She had surgery in June and she is almost a yr out now. and has lost a whopper of over 130lbs. I am so very proud of her and all that she has accomplished and So grateful for having found a friend like her to lean on when I need. She is a skinny minnie holy moly I cant wait to look like her hehe
So here is a pic of us at the party.
Also at the party we were able to show each other our FAT GiRL pants lol, after I showed her I took them outside and showed off, I put both legs into on pant leg for people to really see what and how far I have come. Its crazy and you forget that that is truly how big u were until you put those pants on again. Its such an eye opener. A friend of mine asked me if I was going to burn them.. and I SAID WHAT! No, these are mine to remember that I willl never be able to fit into these again and to know where I came from. They are like a security blanket now!
Then Tuesday my niece graduated from high school and while there someone who I have know for a long long time came up to me and said have you lost a lot of weight, and I was just being a smart ass and said ah no lol and I laughed and told her I was just kidding that I had lost about 115 lbs, and she said wow you look great and asked me how I did it and told her WLS. She asked if it was hard, and I said its not anymore, but it was in the beginning. Its my life now its what I have become its what I love!
