2/1/06 I have lost 70 pounds. Its so hard to believe. Clothes are an issue because I don't want to wear all my big clothes. When I wear stuff that fits I feel beautiful. Thats hard to say. I don't think I have ever felt this way. The lose skin/fat is really a bother but there is nothing to do about it now. I have been over weight my entire life so the skin has been stretched all my life. Nothing is going back. Exercise makes me feel great. Babysitting is going so good. I only wish I had then energy I have now when my twins were born. I missed out on soooo much but I have a lot of time to make up. my starting weight was 296 this morning I was at 224.9. I just take a day at a time. I struggle with eating at times. I am never hungry so I miss lunch a lot of the time. I try to grab a yogurt and a piece of cheese. I have no problem getting protein in. Still wish there was a magic spell that I could drink all my water. Every day is a good day.
