Life so far...........
Feb 28, 2009
Okay, I have definitely accepted the fact that I only lose about 1 pound every 3 or 4 days. This is just going to be the normal for me. I guess it gives my body time to adjust to the loss and maybe will minimize the loose skin that I may have gotten if I dropped it much more rapidly. I am just rationalizing with myself. But, I am very happy that I have lost 57 pounds since October!!I can't tell you how much, at work, I am hearing the word "skinny". Which is funny to me, because, on the contrary.....I am still over 200 pounds, hardly skinny!! But, it does help my motivation and it does make me proud of what I have done so far. One of the doctors I work with told me yesterday that I had a "twinkle" in my eye, and he commented how skinny my face and neck were now. It is these comments that keep me going, and make me happy with my decision. I knew it was the right thing when I saw my blood sugars back to normal and my husband says I don't snore anymore (the diabetes and sleep apnea are gone!!)
I can sit cross-legged on the floor again.....been years since that happend. Yesterday I put on a pair of jeans that I haven't worn in years, either. I have been only wearing stretch-waist pants for at least the past 4 or 5 years. We will be flying to the Philippines in July and I am pretty confident the seat belts will fit with no problem. We will also be going to Disneyland and I think riding most of the rides there will be more enjoyable than the last time I went, however, I think I just squeezed my big ole butt onto them anyway the last time!!
My stepson moved in with us a few weeks ago and we have been adjusting to this new addition to our family. He is a very nice kid (he is 20), got a job at Wal-Mart right away. But, he is very anxious all the time, paces and walks around alot. He is bored, but I don't know what to do about it. He lost his driver's license in New Jersey for a year for not having car insurance, so he is going stir crazy. I feel bad for him.
My other stepson, who also lives here in Oklahoma, is getting married next weekend, and all of the brothers will be together again for the first time in like 12 years. So, I am going to set up an appointment for them to get pictures done together, because who knows when this will happen again?
Have a lot of plannning, cleaning, etc.......(my dh's ex-wife will be here, too, and she usually spends time at our house), but I will update later.
