Moving on down the scale at this point. Goody, goody!

It has been a while since I wrote. I had to have 2 endoscopes to have the stricture stretched. Since then, if I eat too fast, it doesn't stay down. It isn't that I'm not chewing, it is that I'm eating too fast. I definitely have to eat slow and steady. I'm down 67 pounds this year, 34 since the surgery. If I keep this up, I will be under 200 by the 28th of this month! Gee, I haven't been in that range in a good 20 years! I'm fitting size 16's perfectly and X-LG tops. I had to go out and get a whole new wardrobe as I had no 16's in my closet. Of course I hit Goodwill and New Hope thrift store. I found a real bargain at the New Hope Thrift store in Clarksville, IN. Liz Clairborne pants, 5 pairs in 16 for $1 a pair! Couldn't pass that up and they fit perfectly and were in excellent shape. It was like finding a gold mine!I've had 2 WOW moments since returning to work. Two people told me how young I looked. That was nice. Everyone had to make comments about how 'skinny' I was getting. Well, it isn't over yet, so watch out world. I've been sending my clothes to a friend who is losing and is a bit behind me. I hope she gets some use out of them.
The only problem I have is making sure I get all the vitamins and minerals in and all the water. The protein isn't a problem. I've been on so many low carb diets that protein first is a habit and easy to follow. I am glad I can finally eat fruites and vegetables now.
I've been swimming at the 'Y' and walking when I can. I may even take up skiing again at this rate! Who knows?
