I got to spend time with my parents on Monday for the holiday. And I was able to give my mother her belated birthday gift. I will be the first to admit that I'm absolutely horrible at judging what size a person wears - me, or anyone else. I knew she had been losing weight - so I guessed and bought her an XL from the regular section of the store (not plus size.) She tried it on, and it was a little too big - YAY MOM! - so we decided to run to the store before she left and buy her the next size down - a large. Then she wanted me to try the XL on. I was sure it would be too small - and tried to weasel out of it - but my Mom is nothing if not persistent...so I gave in. Guess what - IT FIT! Me in a top from the regular section of the store! I wouldn't have tried it if she hadn't forced the issue - and I'm still in a little shock over it. WOW - OH WOW!
Today is 14 weeks out. I have lost 66.2 pounds since surgery, 126 pounds from my biggest, and 64.25 inches total. I haven't lost much weight in the past few weeks - but I have continued to lose inches - and there is the possibility that the issue last week with my heart was playing a part in that. I seem to be back on track now.
