Well...July 4th...Happy 4th to all!!!
This has been an amazing 9+ months. I have 11 lbs to go to get to my doctor's goal weight for me. I now have 142 lbs gone. A whole nother person!! Can you believe it?!?!? 11 pounds...that's it!!! I have gone from wearing a size 4x to a size 14-16 right now. I haven't been this small since I got married...and that was over 20 yrs ago!!! Am I surprised? Yes. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be this far in this short of time. Am I still healthy? Yes. I am faithfully taking my vitamins and eating only twice a day. Snacking in between. Healthy snacks now...not junk. My snacks consist of nuts, cheese and a few crackers. My meals consist of a small piece of meat and some veggies. I swear I'm the cheapest date around. I get a regular hamburger ($1) and a glass of water. I take the bread off the hamburger and just eat the meat, pickles and I have to have onions on it. That's it!! And I'm full after just that! I can also eat Pepper Steak and rice...which I was sooooo glad of. I can only eat a little chicken...beef seems to do good for my pouch. But not all beef...thin sliced or ground...that's it. Thinking about trying some ground chicken and turkey soon.
Now if I could just get rid of this excess skin!!!! I know my insurance will cover it if I have medical reasons. Which I do....all documented. Just waiting for my doctor now to go ahead and reccomend it. I'm tired of going through the problems I have with this junk. Burning my arms...boils on my arms and in unmentionable places. I am totally tired of it!! I hope I can get this surgery done soon!!!! I know I'll have to have a total lower body lift and arm sculpture. That's all I'm really looking to have done. I can then look in the mirror and see the new person I've actually become. Right now I look in the mirror and I don't like what I see....with all the excess skin hanging I'm not able to see the difference in me. I keep seeing the "Fat Gurl" I was 9 months ago. I need to see the new me that has emerged from this transformation so I can get used to her. It's a mental thing I know but I just can't get myself to see a thinner me...the only way I know that all this weight loss has occurred is from my clothing size. Does anyone else feel this way?
