New Years is heres

I wanted the title to rhyme but I'm not sure it makes any sense.  Oh well, I don't always make sense either.
The doctor put in another ml today giving me 4 mls.  We are doing this very slowly but I can eat way too much food before I can feel it.  I wouldn't have had a band put in if I could do it on my own so this is frustrating.  At least I did not gain over Christmas.  Way too many good foods in the house.  Have managed to remove most of them (and not by eating them). 
I'm down from a size 22 to a size 16 and it is nice to be able to shop most anywhere.  I'm in a size large rather than 2XL also.  Yeah.  And you now what, my feet are not as wide as they used to be.  Interesting fact, huh.  I can wear size medium rather than wide width.  Only problem seems to be with the clothes.  They are not shrinking with me and since it is illegal, not to mention a bit cold, I'm having to be creative in getting new clothes.  Checked the second hand store today for a black skirt but they didn't have one that fit.  I did find one on sale at Coldwater Creek, of all places, for a price that I deemed "not over the top" and bought it.  I'm trying to stick to staple type clothes so I can still wear things and change them up a bit. 
I pray for all of you a good new year and I wish for you to pray the same for us as we are being audited by the IRS for 2008.  Ain't life grand!

  1. Yay Jan!!! You're doing very well. It may be slower than you'd like, but gradual weight loss is the kind that lasts.

    Keep it up! You rock.
