Milestones!

Good evening world. I can not believe that I am one more pound away from having lost sixty pounds. What a crazy feeling it is to be shrinking like this. Especially since it isn't just my stomach, but my entire frame that seems to be smaller. I have even noticed it in my legs. lol. I am so excited to buy a swimsuit this summer. I am sure I will still want one that has a little skirt or something but wow it will be nice to feel more confident about just being in one.

Funny how different my cravings and taste buds have been since the surgery. Now I don't crave the sweets near as much and some foods that I can eat still just are not as appealing anymore. One example is noodles. I used to LOVE noodles, but now I am just not too in to them. When I eat them they no longer seem to settle very well in my new stomach and makes me feel icky. But I feel fortunate though that so far that is the only negative I have. I know other people who can not eat hardly any dairy anymore, and some people who have a hard time with spices and such. I am doing great on all of those so far.

Another thing I find interesting and kind of funny is that now when I watch the kids or James eating a bunch of food, or sometimes even just two slices of pizza, I notice that I am cringing at how much food they are eating. It almost grosses me out. I always feel like they are eating way too much even though really it isn't that much....it is just way more then I can eat now and so the thought of stuffing that much food inside me just makes me grimace. All part of the changes I am going through I guess.

The not so fun part of the changes is that I have been losing more hair then usual. I knew that this could happen even with me getting all my protein in, but it is still kind of freaky when I see all the hair coming out in the shower. I know its normal though and I am just trying to remember that it will not last forever and I will not lose all my hair. Think positive right? lol. So that is all for now. I will update again soon. :)
