Major Milestone - ThinnerTimes

Christina · 12-06-2004, 09:42 AM

For the first time since surgery I actually feel as if I am getting a lot smaller than I was. I hit a major milestone yesturday and let me tell you for those who didn't hear me screaming or for whom I didn't call and tell this is one of the biggest things that happened since surgery (With the exception of anything having to do with Stuart of course)

Yesturday my Dad was going through his clothes getting rid of the old stuff and I said wait Dad let me try on those jeans.. and guess what??? THEY FIT!!!!!!!! MY SKINNY BUTT DAD'S PANTS FIT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLOOOOOOOO Anyone seen my Dad?? He's tiny.. ok to put it into perspective he wears a 32/30 in mens pants.. Helloooooooooooo anyway I took them from him and said thanks.. I will return them when they get too big for me. Now it was a big deal when I weighed less than him which just happened a couple weeks ago or so but now I am the same size as his skinny butt!!! I'm very excited about this and think that I must be smaller if I can fit into those jeans!!! wooo hooo!!!!!!!!!!

There is a picture of me and my dad somewhere with me leaving for the hospital in member photos.. that girl is the same size as her dad now!!!!!!!! yowser!!!!!!!!

Ok sorry for the ranting but this was huge for me.. thanks for letting me ramble..

This journey is such a great experience! It's sometimes the oddest things that thrill us--I totally understand your elation with fitting in your dad's pants. Not only did it feel great for you, but I bet you got a great sense of satisfaction in having your DAD KNOW that you fit in his pants!

You've done an awesome job! Keep up the great work!

So yesterday I was out shopping since I got a $200.00 gift certificate from Khols from my parents and a $50.00 gift certificate from Stuarts Dad. I thought I would only spend a small amount since I really need to save the money for when I need new things on the way down so I bought a couple pair of pants in a size 10 since a few weeks ago they were really tight on me but fit. I figured since I have noticed that I have been losing inches that they may fit now or even if they were tight they would fit shortly. I also forgot to mention that the 10's only fit me in one brand and they weren't pretty.. I mean they were TIGHT!!! The other brands wouldn't even get up over my butt... so I was pretty much still a 12. Well I brought them home and tried them on to humor myself.. to make a long story short .. I had to bring them back and exchange them.. because they were TOO BIG!!! I tried on a size 7/8 and they fit.. then I went and tried on every other brand in an 8 even those without stretch.. and they all fit!! I am a freaking size 8!!! I was on the phone with Tracie when I tried on the other 8's just to make sure that I was not insane. Then I went to Target and tried on a size 8 there.. and I guess that is my universal size now because those fit too!! This is huge guys.. I am in single digits!! But in the same token I am nervous.. I haven't lost any weight in some time and that is fine.. that isn't what is making me upset.. what upsets me is the fact that I have lost 2 pant sizes in just a couple of weeks. Now I don't look unhealthy or anything and don't feel that way but I am somehow afraid of being this small. I can't explain it.. it feels great, don't get me wrong.. but isn't it kind of late in the game to lose two sizes in less than a month?? Just wondering from the older post op's if they could tell me if they did this as well.

The other thing is.. some chick was not paying attention while she was walking I guess because on Christmas Eve I was backing out of a parking space and looked all around to see if it was clear and didn't see anyone. So I started backing out slowly and this chick started walking right into my truck. I didn't hit her, I saw her in time but she started yelling at me. I started to get angry right back at her because I was annoyed.. hello.. I am not responsible for others not paying attention. I got out of my truck and she said oh what is your scrawny azz going to do to me?? I smiled and said "you think I'm scrawny?? thanks!" She rolled her eyes and kept on walking. I was in awe.. someone thinks I am scrawny.. someone I don't know!!! That felt so great!! I know it is corny.. but man that felt good.. it made my night and made me glad that I almost hit her.
