Week 18 I now weigh less than Hubby

Apr 20, 2011

Milestone today.  Scale showed 176.  I stepped on and off 4 times, so I know it's true (at least for today).  That is less than my DH (Darling Hubby) who is hovering at 177.  When I started this journey last October, DH decided to eat healthy too, and drop some weight.  So just like a guy, he went from 210 to 175ish in what seems like days.  He's been hovering around this range for 2-3 months now.  Today, I passed him by.  I'm waving to him as I speed downward.  Wheeeee!

Another NSV (non scale victory) yesterday.  I'm selling a lot of my stuff on Craigslist in preparation for moving.  One lady who bought my cast iron planters and garden fountain, said that "You smaller girls...." regarding lifting heavy objects.  No one, in my entire life has ever referred to me as one of those "smaller girls".   My reply, "Oh boy, you don't even want to go there..."  I almost went into the whole spiel about my WLS etc, etc. to a complete stranger.  I was so flabergasted.  Who me?  A smaller girl?  

So, from that standpoint, folks and circumstances have been stroking my ego lately.  It feels good after having been down so long.  This WLS was the best thing I've ever done for myself.
