~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So yeah... Super happy about that loss. I'm just super happy to be losing. My Dr. told me not to expect very much loss after surgery up to my fill and that a lot of patients actually gain weight. That now is time for healing not focusing on the weight loss.  So I really wasn't expecting good losses. Man, I've had 1+ lb losses every week so I must be doing something right! I can't wait until my fill August 16th! 

So, The Baby's 1st birthday was Friday. Poor thing was sick all weekend. I'm glad I cancelled her party for Saturday because Saturday morning she blew chunks all over me, herself and the floor. It was EVERYWHERE, my whole left side was covered. She sure had a good time in the bath that followed... She just played and played... must have felt better. I would too after all that comin' outta me! We have postponed her party until next saturday, hopefully she will be good and healthy by then (me too, I'm still not feeling the best!) Instead I went with Cupcake (my best friend for my new followers) back to school shopping. Wow... my kid isn't even in kindergarten yet...just pre-k and I spent a pretty damn penny. It wasn't all "school supplies" alot of it was clothes but still! SHEESH! We were out shopping for ..oh...about 10 hours!!!! I guess that's a lot of exercise too so that's a plus. I tried on A LOT of stuff everywhere I went to try and get me a couple outfits to wear because I'm running on a few articles right now. Ummm.... NO! I walked away with a big fat empty bag for me! I probably tried on a total of 60 garments and NOTHING fit like it should... it was either WAY too tight or too big. So, it looks like I will be recycling the baggy crap until I have money and am not in an in between size. I also need to check with my surgeon to see if he does a clothing exchange, that would be helpful!

Wait, I lied... after family dinner I ran out to exhange some clothes for Big Girl that were too small. I figured I would try on a dress (just a little $14 thing from wal-mart) OH MY it's cute! It's a floor length tube style dress and guess what size it was? A FRIKKEN LARGE! Now don't get excited because every where else the XL's are either too tight or too big. Now it's just a tad tight but I got it that way on purpose so it will fit better in the next month. I'm wearing it right now... WITH a little short sleeve jean jacket i've had for like 5 years but never wore because it was too small and I felt uncomfortable. I guess that's an NSV! :) and it's a MAJOR nsv because it shows my "elbow roll" as I call it... You know...that little fat roll that hangs over your elbow? Yeah, I'm totally rocking that shit out today. I feel more comfortable in my skin at 225 than I did last time I was at 225. I like it. I'm wearing things I never would have wore before. I can't wait to continue and see my style form. I always liked to think I had style but who can really have style when the plus size section is teeny tiny and it all looks like old lady clothes? There are so many things I would have liked to wear if only I was smaller... I can't wait to develope a REAL style.

Oh I forgot!! The World According To Eggface posted about an ice cream maker last week. I ALMOST ordered it on amazon...it was in my cart. At the last minute I decided against it. It was $59.95. WELL, at Kohls saturday they had it! And it was only $49.95...AND I had a $10 off for my bday---AND I had a 20% off coupon.. Happy Birthday to me :)  (which is on August 14th btw... I accept cash, money order, personal check, purses, or shoes)
