Well it is now two weeks past that and the mean scale moved LOL! So now I am closer to where I wanted to be at one year and I am hopeful that at one year and one month I will be able to say I made it. But as of right now I am at 185lbs which means I have a BMI of 30.7. Almost there.....at a BMI of 29.9 I will be in the overweight category....never to see obese there again. I am now in a misses size 14 for the most part and since I was a womens 30-32 just one year ago that is a great accomplishment!!!!!
Hardest thing to do now is resist buying clothes LOL! I can get into clothes just off the rack ANYWEHERE and that is great! But I am still get out of them so quickly so I am trying to resist buying too many. It is ironic because I never bought clothes for myself. Maybe a new outfit here and there but not much and now I am able to! But if my clothes get baggy now they are gone right then. I am not keeping my fat clthes anymore......I will NOT be needing them!
Been lots going on.....many of you know this already but a good friend of my daughter's passed away this week. That has been tough as we went to her memorial on what would have bene her 9th birthday. My daughter is doing ok though it gets tough at night and for 3 nights she has cried herself to sleep. Her friend had been sick for two years (was diagnosed with cancer on her 7th birthday) and it became apparent recently that I needed to start tell dd about what to expect. So I think it was not as hard as it could have been. But then how much does a 9 year old understand death adn the passing of a friend.
I appreciate though that have sent kind words that are helping her through this. She is also speding time with friends and together they will get through this.
But what I have noticed. Stress triggers there BIG time! So I have had to make an effort to remember to get in my protein first!!!! Unfortunatly it appears that I can eat a bit more sugar that I could at first. So I have to watch that too!
On a happy note I started a new job this week. Some of you knew that I had put in for a promotion at work. And I got it. So this shoul dbe helping me with my hydration issues as I can have drinks at my desk and not spend the 12 hours fighting to get in my water and my protein all day. Maybe that is why the scale moved!
Still have to get my one year surgiversary trip planned. Will post the details once that happens!
Thank you to everyone that has been so supportive through all of this journey!
