Today marks 8 months since I had my surgery.
Weight loss so far? A grand total of 121 lbs (484 sticks of Grade A butter - mind boggling, isn't it?). Only 20 more to go...
And now for the moment you have all been waiting for (drum-roll please)...THE BEFORE AND AFTER SHOTS!!!
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Now wait, how'd that happen? Let's take it in slow motion...
May 2009 - I seem to really like this shirt...not because I love the color, but because it's one of the few that fit and was comfortable.
This is THAT picture. The picture that I took one look at and cried. The one picture that made me so sick...sick of who I had allowed myself to become, sick of feeling trapped, sick of trying without having anything to show for it. In fact, it's on my mom's facebook album - it was taken at a family reunion. She tagged me. I untagged it. Twice. I was too embarrassed. Again - I'm wearing my "favorite" shirt.
Surgery Day - Dec 2010. I couldn't even zip up my jacket.
Feb 2011
March 2011 - again with my favorite shirt...what a difference a few months make.
May 2011 - First dress I was able to buy in the regular size department :)
June 2011 - For the first time, I was actually okay and felt confident with getting my picture taken. It's been a long time...
July 2011 - Pics taken at the family reunion. I had such a good time, and not once did I feel self-conscience about my weight. Now that is a reason to celebrate!
Aug 2011 - me in my workout clothes. It feels good :)

What an accomplishment! You are amazing!
SHERI! I have goosebumps. You are amazing! You look the exact same as i remember you 15 years ago! Super hot! And I'm there with you. I know how great it feels. 4 years ago I lost 100 with working out and WW and the best thing about it was not constantly thinking about being the biggest person in the room...just knowingi that no one else was thinking about my weight. I loved it. I completely changed as a person. Congrats. You're amazing and inspiring!!!!!! Oh, this is kristal...not Dr. Mulder
