that's a classic picture! I wonder if someday I'll be able to fit both my little boys in a pair of my big jeans!

I almost didnt share the photo because Brittney felt she didnt like how she looked (being she had just woke up on sat morning and hadnt gotten ready for a photo that would be shared - but i am so glad i did

I want to say something special to everyone that made my day by posting such nice things to me about this huge milestone photo

Sandy
we did have a good time we walked out to show my husband (their dad) and he could not believe his eyes...

Audean
I too was between a size 18 to a 20 before surgery and thats why i mentioned the jeans were not as tight on me as they appear on us...you'll be there SOON!

Rain
I bet you and your daughter WILL both fit into your old size 22 jeans- as soon as your swelling goes down from the TT try it and post a photo we want to see

Jen
thank you for being so much help along the way - encouraging me that i am on track! I love that you became the little sister i wished i had for so many years. I hope we never lose contact & know that you can call me ANYTIME! I also appreciate the infor on school for Kyle he's loving to hear about your experiences - He asked last night why cant he go to Az with you...I said but your graduating...I am really pushing him to go to SF so he could live at home. THANK YOU JEN!

Brooke
thanks for the congrats it has been a great journey to being more healthy but I am still tired in the evenings...although throughout the day i do a LOT more than i use to...

Whitney
you are right i did lose a person i have lost 80 lbs 20 more and that makes 100 lbs I hope I can lose another 20lbs

Christy
it is so amazing I hope you get approved very soon and can be on your way to losing too!

Melanie
thank you I never thought I would be an inspiration to anyone...

I heard on the radio today that 90% of people that are obese dont see them selves as obese - I know I DIDNT see myself as obese but i was not obese i was MORBIDLY OBESE I didnt see me as that either - i knew i was overweight i knew i needed to lose some weight but i didnt label myself as morbidly obese

now i look back I found i was not in many photos - even less was i not hiding behind someone so I knew i was fat and needed to lose weight but i was fatter than i realized...for all you pre-op or very recent post -op I want you to know it will happen and quicker than you think...like me you will be happy to feel good about your weight and size as I do even though i am still considered overweight at almost 5'5 & weight is 158 I need to lose another 10 lbs to be NORMAL...I am proud i know before this i never wanted to tell my weight now when i say yeah i have lost 80 pounds people say NO WAY...you couldnt have lost that much i say i weighed 238 and they are in doubt - which feels good that they cant believe i weighed 238 but i did and my knees and feet hurt from it... well i have rambled enough thanks to all my friends for all the support on theis great site - I love to see your success pictures too! Keep sharing them

to keep everyone inspired

marty - you have to do it -it was fun & its funny to look at the photo too!

HeatherT · 04-07-2006, 03:46 PM

anyone who has a child or even a spouse that could fit in their old jeans with them should do it - it feel so real than that i have lost all this weight - because sometime i dont feel like i have lost anything -

would it be weird to frame my old jeans next to my current size? just kidding of course but it is so easy to forget where we were - because like i said i didnt think i was MORBIDLY OBESE - or even OBESE - i felt over weight or "fat" but i was bigger than i realized...i knew i was only getting bigger and that is when i decided to do something about it & I had the surgery ~ best choice EVER!

My son and husband thought we could both fit into my old size 20 jeans - we did... they were a little tighter on the 2 of us then they were on me only 5 months ago but the fact that my daughter that will be 13 yrs old in May and I could both fit in my old size 20 jeans is something i am proud of and something we all laughed about, so i thought i would share a little laughter with my staple brothers & sisters

at the time of this photo: My current size is a 12 and Brittney my daughter wears a size 1 sometimes a size 3...

enjoy the laugh...

What a cool picture. What a neat idea you had. This will be one picture that you will treasure forever.

Heather that is SOOOO fabulous! You inspire me! I thought it was funny that I can get both my legs in ONE pant leg.... never even thought about the whole other person thing! LOL I have to say too.... emotions are weird.... I always new I was fat. but still thought I looked damn cute.... I look back now and can't believe I ever got that big..... I still think I AM that big... Bizarre.... I'm always asking my family and friends..... am I as big as that lady? Was I bigger then that guy? Because I just can't wrap my brain around how fat I was... OR how much I've changed. Even typing that seems weird.... because I don't feel I've changed that much... lol THERAPY!

YES - i always asked am i as big as her bt now its am i as small as her...i need to take a photo of us in the pants looking cute instead of looking like she just woke up

but i will treasure it forever the first day we actually squeezed into my old jeans - it was tough getting them zipped - kyle (my son) helped us....it been a few weeks we maybe able to do it on our own next time

i think i will try on my favorite shorts with her next time

Ok we did the photos in my old shorts...so you can see we are really in them i will treasure it forever
