New BMI stats

Jun 18, 2012

You have a BMI of 28.7.
This shows that you are moderately overweight.
Your BMI is not high enough to qualify you for bariatric surgery.

WTF????
Moderately Overweight???? Moderately? Not extremely, or very, or really really overweight....but MODERATELY!!
Whoa. I friggin ROCK!!! LOL!!


I weighed myself this morning. 189lbs

Wow.

I think I am still in shock maybe??

I thought I was done losing and I know its only a pound or 2....but it's the difference between 190-something and 180-something.....I weigh in the 180's!!!

The best part is that until I was updating my stats here, and updated my little ticker thing....I hadn't even realized how close I am to my goal. 33 lbs to go!!

WHAT????

33?? THIRTY THREE???? That's it???

When I used to go to Weight watchers, every week I would feel so defeated and angry, especially with the little wisps of things that would come in and say..."Oh I need to lose 35 lbs!" and I always thought...man if I ONLY had 35 lbs to lose, I wouldn't even worry about it!!!

It's just such a mindf*#k you know?? I am having a really hard time wrapping my head around it! I am extremely happy and giddy even, but I never once DARED to believe that it could possibly be true....that this could work for someone like me. I have spent a lifetime feeling like I was the fattest person int he room and feeling like no matter what I did, I just couldn't lose the weight. Now???
I don't really know what to think...or say, other than "YEEEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAWW!!!"

Mom: I am one of "those" people.

2 interesting articles on Obesity in Canada

Jun 17, 2012

Today, I found 2 very interesting articles related to obesity. They specifically talk about Canada but I think the information applies anywhere.

The second article.....I refuse to comment on because I need some time to digest the information in there before going off on a rant. Unbelievable...is all I have to say for the moment.

This first one though, is extraordinarily interesting and all I have to say is...."It's about time someone said something!!"
