5 to go!

Oct 14, 2011

I am almost 7 months out and down 94 lbs.  I have 5 more to go to be in the magical onederland! I can not remember the last time I weighed in the 100s - probably 10 th grade which is more years ago then I care to count.  I feel good.  I have more energy then I have had in a very long time.  I am flattered and embarrassed when people call me 'skinny' or say that I am looking good.  I wonder how I got to 299 lbs.  7 months ago I would have never told that number to anyone but now I happily tell people my current weight and amount lost so I am sure they can do the math.  A lot of people say they never saw me as 'big' and I have to wonder how the hell they did not.  I weighed more then most professional football players and barely squeezed into a size 24.  I never want to go back to that.  I have fears that my old habits will sneak back in so I am always hyper aware of what goes in my mouth.  I am tempted by so many things but I either resist or allow myself one bite and move on.  I wont call myself a 'new' me because I am the same Lori Beth I have always been - I will call myself a smarter me,  And in 5 more lbs.......................onederland!
