Five Month Pictures!

Here are my five months progress shots, plus a few extra just for fun.  Reminder, 5 months, 95 lbs.  Becuase I always wondered when I looked at before and afters (or, durings....) I'm 5' 7" and 240 in the current pic.

Start and Now, front in yoga pants and a tank (new ones b/c the others are too big!)

Start and now from the side:

Start and now in 'real clothes':

 Then these are just fun.  I put these khaki shorts on this AM to run my daughter too school.  They were GINORMOUS.  I got them earlier this summer, they're a 20W.  Can I just vent a little about companies and their inconsistent sizing?  These 20's are falling off, but there are 18's I can't wear.  So...who the hell knows.  Also, this illustrates how the waist is big, but not terrible.  But look at the rest of them!  They are so wide.  My ass and thighs are much smaller in proportion to my belly.  If something fits my waist it's huge everywhere else.  I think I'll start wearing bella bands this winter to hold my pants up just like I did in early pregnancy!

I was putting together some new clothing donation bags this weekend, including one bag to send to the consignment site ThredUp.com.  I should have taken notes of what I sent them and done a post on what money I earned but I forgot.  I'll still share about how it goes after I hear back from them. Annnnyway, while putting my donations together I found one pair of my favorite pre-surgery jeans.  They're the ones I'm wearing in the before picture above.  They are a Lands End 26W that were getting tight, if I'm being honest.  I decided to try them on.  I hobbled downstairs and said to my husband "now, be honest.  Do these look too big?".  Despite the fact that I had to hold them on to move, he was like a deer in headlights.  You could just tell he was like "Oh God, don't ask me about clothes..." when he finally was like "yea, actually, they are too big".  I mean, duh!
