I'm Overweight!!

Feb 06, 2010

I haven't posted here in a very long time. Always something else to do.
Anyway, the weight loss continues, and I'm pleased to say that I'm finally Overweight!
No longer Morbidly Obese,
no longer Obese,
just Overweight.
God, how I detest the word, "Obese!"
Enough of that -- not a rant I want to get started on
.
So anyhow, I'd hoped to have lost more weight by now, but looking back, I'm VERY pleased and proud of my accomplishment so far.

The holidays.
I didn't gain any weight.
I didn't lose any, either.
A month-plus stall, entirely of my own making.
Crunch & munch a little here, a little there. No time for the gym, too many other distractions. My swimsuit was getting way too big (my 'girls' kept popping out! It was ugly.), so I couldn't go to the pool. Had eye surgery and doc said to take it easy for a while, so I did. A course of Prednisone threatened to make me eat anything I could get my hands on. Luckily we don't keep 'junk' food in the house, so I was able to get past that.
But at last I am able to admit -- and understand -- that I am addicted to carbohydrates. The bad kind of carbs. The starches and sugars. All those refined and fattening nasty and oh-so-delcious and enticing carbs.
Ah, I feel another rant coming on. . . .

Okay, now for the good parts.
I have gone from 3X-4X at my heaviest to a Misses' size 14. 
I have a new Speedo swimsuit that contains my girls nicely in the pool without providing a free show for the teenage male lifeguard.
I have discovered Victoria's Secret. The girls are doing okay, better than I expected in fact. The new bra lifts them back where they belong.
People I haven't seen for awhile often don't recognize me. Lots of people don't if my back is turned.
My co-workers are beginning to tell me I've lost enough weight. Ha! I tell them I want to be known as "The Skinny Bitch!"
At least I already have the "Bitch" part right.
My husband has dubbed me, "The Incredible Shrinking Woman."
Shopping for clothes has become my new passion. Okay, so budget-wise, I do a LOT of thrifting. It's a real thrill to be able to find clothes I really like!
I can wear 'skinny jeans' and heels and I got a pair of knee-high boots that fit my formerly fat legs and I will need new (motorcycle) riding gear and another one of my chins is missing and . . . !!!
