I got up this morning and as we all do from time to time, I thought I’d try on some clothes that I couldn’t wear to see how many months I think it will be before I get wear them again.  So first I tried on a pair of brand new size 16 pants and they were big!!!  I’ve been wearing my old big clothes so it’s hard to tell that you’re getting smaller.  I was quite stoked that the lapband is still working because I thought after my recent fill that I was still eating too much.  The numbers are going down slowly on the scales.

Then I thought, I’ve got 2 pair of size 12/14 jeans on the shelf in the closet, I’ll see how long it will take to get into those.  I know, I know..  brave of me but guess what??

I’m wearing them now !

I flew out of the bedroom and danced around for my husband who said, “Just what ARE you doing?”

“Look, what do you think??” I said eagerly.

“You still have scars on your tummy?” he said.

“Uhhh… no, the jeans, what do you think of the jeans?”

“They’re ok, but jeans are jeans,” he said while still looking at me funny.

Finally I blurted out, “They’re size 12/14!!!”

Ahhh.. the lightbulb went off and he told me how proud he was of me and that before I knew it I’d be wearing smaller clothes.  There’s a reason I picked him. He’s the best moral support I could ever find.  He loves me no matter what size I am and if I’m happy, he’s thrilled.

I checked in with my son and he hasn’t had the fill he needed so he’s putting weight back on.  He’s pretty much avoiding me because he knows he should make time to have it done.  I suspect he spent the money I sent for his yearly fills on household bills but I haven’t confirmed that yet.  Fingers crossed that he’ll get the fill and start losing again.
