Amy made me do it!!! LOL

Feb 28, 2007

I'm posting a current update finally. I am 14 months out and I currently weigh 188 lbs. I am feeling elated! I can't begin to describe how much my life has changed. I just found out that my 10 yr reunion will be on April 14th, so I'm really excited about attending. I weigh at least 60 lbs less than I did at my HS graduation. I wonder if many people can say the same..lol. 

I've been getting some funny comments lately that I just had to share. A lot of people have been asking me how my husband is liking the "new me". I tell them that it's been great. I think they don't believe me. Some of our friends have even gone so far as to ask if DH misses me being large. I have to laugh at that. My hubby has just gotten out of the Army (so he's pretty fit) and has looked like a stick next to me for the past 7 years of our marriage. Now we weigh 18 lbs apart. (I'm still larger but I'm closing in on him!) If anything, our marriage has gotten better. He loves my new attitude and self confidence. Now, don't get me wrong.... I'm no supermodel...... but I think I'm looking pretty good these days...lol. I love not having to buy clothes in plus sizes anymore (I'm a 16/18 but that is the XL size in the "normal" area). It's a dream come true for a former 30/32. So to answer everyone-- I feel like we are newlyweds again..... just now we have a toddler in the picture...lol.

7/27/06 I just wanted to add that I have had to travel back to my home state for a while( Hubby is Army-- we came from AL). My grandfather wasn't doing to well and had to be put in a nursing home and my grandmother was neglecting herself (so she could sit by him) to the point of wrecking her health. I had been traveling 4 1/2 hours each way to see them as much as possible to help my mom out. My grandfather passed away last week, and my grandmother (his wife) was admitted in the ER twice while he was in the hospital for the final time. It's been rough. My son is still in therapy (he's was born preemie with seizures and some delays---Praise God they are all mild!) but they just determined that he can go for 3 times a week instead of 4. He's caught up enough with speech to go from 2 x to just 1x, plus OT and Behavioral Therapies. I'm trying to get a job, but i'm having a hard time of it right now. I'm also heading a church mission where I teach loom knitting and we make baby hats for preemies at the Medical College of GA,. Our group has made over 200 hats, 10 bootie sets, and 34 hats to deployed soldiers, and 40 hats for the homeless. I'm currently making a scarf/shawl to go to an elderly lady for a nursing home.

As far as my looks....lol. I'm in a 20/22 shirt and am wearing very baggy 24's. NO MORE LANE BRYANT----I can use Wal Mart now......lol... But I DO like LB for the sexy outfits....heh heh. I think the major change is my face, especially with the short hair cut (which has grown out for about 6 weeks now). I did it because I was afraid of the hair loss.
