After two and a half weeks, my face is still very sore to the touch. The wounds are almost healed, but scars have been left behind. Thankfully, the doctor thinks that they will eventually fade. This is the longest I’ve ever been without makeup. I plan on wearing it again starting next week. Maybe the scars won’t be too noticeable then.
I have one other thing to reveal to the world. I wasn’t planning on mentioning it until much later down the line, but what the heck?! I joined Jenny Craig three weeks ago. I figured that having to report for weigh-in once a week would be all the motivation I needed! I guess I was right. I lost 1.6 pounds the first week, and 2.6 pounds the second week. I go for the third weigh-in tomorrow morning. I’m anxious, because I know that I’ve done well this week! My jeans are literally falling off! I’ll give the official weight loss report tomorrow.
Several people have commented on my weight loss – people who weren’t aware of my efforts. That makes me feel great! Other than my sagging jeans, the weight loss is very noticeable in my face. At least that’s what they tell me! I’ll let you guys decide for yourselves. I’ll post a new photo of myself soon. And as the weight continues to come off, expect to see even more!
I’m not really sure how much weight I want to lose. I just want to be happy when I look in the mirror. Is that even possible? I don’t think I’ve ever been satisfied with my body. Wish me luck! Hopefully a few more weeks is all I will need.

Congrats on the weight loss. I know how hard it is. I lost 30 pounds two years ago and it was a struggle.

Good luck and don’t worry about those little places on your cheek. Looks like a couple of little red places and can easily be covered up…and if you didn’t no big deal.
My shoulder scars will make my bikini look funny this year, ‘course if I wear one, no one will see them anyway from laughing!

Good luck!!! Losing weight can be SO difficult but you’re doing great. The first month is the hardest and you almost at the end of that!!
