48 Pounds .... Holy Crap-On-A-Cracker

As I look at my past blogs, I remember vividly how BIG of a deal it was when I got to type "23 POUNDS DOWN!!!". Now, here I am at 48 pounds lost and I can't believe it. My road to being healthy continues with little road construction & detours. The only downside to this whole adventure (Note: It is a GREAT PROBLEM TO HAVE) is how expensive this journey has been. I'm not talking about the doctor bills, I'm talking about the clothes.

As you know, I'm down two sizes and I am honestly, about 10-15 pounds from hitting the next size. Currently, my 14's are belted to keep them from falling down (P.S. Thanks to my mother for giving me a FLAT TUSHY! There is no junk in my trunk to keep things on my hips!). The other day while in Grand Forks, I ran into Old Navy to grab another pair of jeans. I actually had a pair of size 12's on ... but it was pretty scary! My legs looked thin! However, any excess fat on my thighs traveled right over my hips and into my stomach. I didn't look like a cute little muffin, instead I looked like the world's largest mushroom! But-they were on-zipped-and buttoned! Yippee!

Speaking of belly fat. I really wish I could harvest all of the fat in my stomach and inject it in my but! They make home waxing kits, people pierce their own ears, sheep are castrated with rubber-bands ... where are the home plastic surgery kits??!! I have watched so many episodes of Dr. 90210, I am certain I could preform my own tummy tuck-or lipo procedure! My stomach is so soft and squshy it is really gross. Prior to the weight loss, I had good fat. It was hard and wasn't really hard to handle. Now, that it is breaking down, and lacking any kind of physical activity, it is bad. Everyone, I have a Santa Claus belly! It's true ... "like a bowl full of jelly"... that's me! At least with Christmas around the corner, I'll blend in with the decorations!

There is one thing that this process has taken from me. Luckily for me, like underwear, jeans, shirts and belts ... I can also buy new ones. That's right. I am loosing my girls! I went from a DD to a D ! My poor hubby (who is a 'boob man') is loosing his favorite sidekicks. Hopefully this doesn't gross out to many people ... I know there are plenty of women out there who are married to a 'boob man'. I had to marry one - it's not like I could have married a guy who likes badonkedonks, I don't have one of those.

For all of those mothers out there who worry, don't worry about my openess about plastic surgery. I have always been a believer in what I call, "Prevenitive Maintance". I don't plan to follow Joan Rivers' or Cher's footsteps. I am more of a Kate Gosslin. I'll put it in HGTV lingo for my mom ... I don't want to tear down, and build a new addition. I just want to re-finish with slight updates.

Wow-this blog went from weightloss to plastic surgery. I have 25 pounds to go ... a few kids and a few more laugh lines before I start the 2nd part of this blog! Again, thank you everyone for your support. I appreciate everyone who looks in on me through this process.
