The Incredible Shrinking Feet

Until returning to work this week, I pretty much wore flip flops when shoes were needed, basically b/c they were easier to get on and off with limited mobility. To my surprise, yesterday I put on a pair of Clarks that I often wear to work, and there's at least a 1/2 inch of room in them that wasn't there prior to surgery. In high school, I wore a size 5 to 5 1/2 and when I got pregnant/fat, my foot grew to about a size 7. I just assumed it was hormones.

I guess Bertha Butt + Fat Tummy + Thunder Thighs = Big Chubby Foot

To my surprise, co-workers are already noticing the weight loss. I can see it most in my face, I feel it in my shoes obviously, and a little in my clothes. My double chin is just a week or two away from being non-existent. That's a great, great, great feeling! I'm enjoying the few pounds per day loss now, because I know it will slow to a pound or two per week as soon as I can have something other than liquid. Right now, I'm only 35 pounds away from my first goal and have experienced no difficulties...other than mentally having a tough time watching family and friends pig out on good food while I sip soup. But, I've had 10 years of pigging out...now it's time to get healthy!
