Wow, I can't believe it's been 1 year already!! It has really flown by (though it didn't seem like it at the time). So here I am 1 year and 87 lbs lighter! I'm still 3 lbs away from my 2nd goal and I have a feeling I might not make it....I haven't lost anything in about a month. I guess this might just be the weight my body is comfortable with.I went and had my 1 year check-up with Dr. Kelly yesterday. That was as quick and uneventful as I thought it would be. Take my weight, take my "after" photo, take my waist & hip measurements and that was about it. My vitamin/mineral levels are all still great, so nothing to worry about there. My bust-waist-hip measurements are now 38-31-36.
I'm now fitting into anywhere from a size 6 to a 10 - it all depends on the item. I will be happy if I can stay where I'm at!! Of course I don't like my excess skin (who does?) I have a sharpei puppy on my abdomen and inner thighs!! But as long as I'm not in a swim suit, you can't tell. I doubt I'll ever have enough money for plastics - that would just be a pipe dream.
I still have to work on my self confidence. Some days I think I look good and skinny and other days I still feel that I look fat. I guess we're always a work in project and just because my body has changed it's taking my mind a little while to catch up! My new paranoid is gaining the weight back - - scary thought! I really need to start working out regularly! I've been getting in a walk here and there, but I know that's not enough in the long run. If I don't start up with a routine, I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before the weight starts creeping back up. Now that I have a new smaller wardrobe I don't want to have to give it up again!
