A Year Later ... and Feeling Fabulous
WORTH IT$8,475
It's hard to believe it was only a year ago that I had my tummy tuck and breast lift. It feels so much a part of me that it seems I've always been this way. I have to remind myself I wasn't always so blessed, and for that I'm glad I have photographic evidence. I have to try not to fall back into frumpy clothes patterns or too much junk food. Though it's kind of funny that my tummy stays flat no matter what I eat.

It has been a while since I posted. Everything is going well. Scars are still about the same. I did the 5K last week with some friends. So fun! I was glad it wasn't timed and wasn't competitive. Everyone jogged about the same speed and we walked part of it. I was a little worried since I didn't get much training in, but it was fun to just get out there and get a few miles in.
My sister is staying with me this week. It has been fun to go clothes shopping with her. I was in need of an entire wardrobe makeover. I am now a size 4 and before surgery I was an 10. Only 4 pounds different, but worlds different in the sizes. Instead of a Medium, I can now grab a Small or Extra Small. I have never been a size 4 in my life. In 5th grade I was a size 7 and stayed a 7 through junior high. But NEVER a 4.
Until a week or two ago I really didn't feel like shopping. It required extra energy I didn't have after mediating my 3 kids. I bought everything for Father's Day online. Everything else I needed, I looked online first to avoid a trip to the store. Now energy is good. And clothes shopping is fun. I went in to stores I haven't tried in 15 or 20 years. My teenage nieces and nephews like American Eagle, so I found some cute jeans there. The Limited had some great finds. No more frumpy mom stores for me!

I can't help but feel like in the whole Game of Life, I'm totally cheating. All my old pre-baby clothes fit, even clothes that never fit me before. I have the stomach of a supermodel. And if I happen to overeat at a meal, it still stays flat. I'm wondering why I haven't gone on a shopping spree to buy new clothes yet. I'm guessing three reasons: 1) Maybe it will take away the element of surprise when everything I try on looks good. 2) I will have to learn all new shopping rules. I learned lots of tricks for camouflaging my old figure. Not sure what to look for when I go shopping now. 3) I think I still don't quite feel worthy. I'm still in disbelief. Total denial that this is really me. When do I wake up from this dream?
