Shopping

I think it might be time to buy new slacks....

Today I had a meeting at work so I decided to dress up a bit. Usually jeans are okay around the office, so I hadn't worn any dress pants in quite some time.

I bought this pair of dress pants the week I started my job a little over two years ago and they were so tight it was uncomfortable. And I only continued to gain weight in the next year and a half, so I imagine these pants probably did not fit prior to surgery.

Well they didn't fit today either, but in the opposite way. It's a good problem to have!

In other news, I went shopping on my lunch break. Jeans were on sale and there was a nice pair of 16s so I tried them on to see how close I was to wearing them. They buttoned! They're tight, but I bought them anyway because soon they'll be comfy. I have officially dropped 10 pants sizes in 4 months.

This surgery has been the best decision of my life!

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
