Last night I wrote a highly entertaining (if I do say so myself) and lengthy blog post, complete with loads of before/after pics and as luck would have it, my computer decided to freeze and shut down in the middle of it all. Bother. So, I am going to give this another try:
First, some news: I let the lovely Melissa cut bangs for me. I was resistant to bangs for the longest time because I think they make me look like I'm in 3rd grade. After surgery, I started noticing that the skin on my face, which has always been, for lack of a better word, "plump", was suddenly quite loose. Some mornings I would look in the mirror and think "Sweet Mother of Pearl! Where did those LINES come from??" Especially in my forehead!! Exhibit A:
See the wrinkles? ACK! I mean, c'mon! I know I am on the eve of the "Silver Anniversary of my 21st Birthday" but this is ridiculous! Until I work up the nerve to get some botox, wrinkles are the question and BANGS ARE THE ANSWER!!!
In other news, I have not worn my original wedding ring for about 10 years for a multitude of reasons. Yesterday, at work we were discussing wedding rings, so I dug mine out and was completely shocked to see that it fit. It hasn't fit in years! Not only that...it's actually loose. Exhibit B: (notice the bangs!)
I am FIVE lbs away from ONEderland. I really want to reach this goal by next Thursday, since it's my next checkup with my Doc. I plan to step up the workouts this week and I think I can get there. I leave you with a VERY embarrassing and scary BEFORE pic (this is big for me to even post this now...because I am absolutely mortified that I ever allowed myself to look like this) Exhibit C & D:
And, here is the most recent full length pic of me taken this week. 55lbs down. When I look at the difference in pics, I can't even believe I am that same person. What an amazing ride this is. I am so grateful that I have been given this opportunity. Exhibit E:
