Topic: Went Shopping Last Night
And I'm over the moon! Size 12 pants? Size large shirt? ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME? How nice to try things on and have a choice about what I want to wear instead of tents. I still am on cloud nine about it!
Oh, and I have to update my ticker as I lost two pounds overnight. DOn't you love it when THAT happens?!?

I know what you mean! I can no longer hold things up to determine if they would fit. I look at them and think "Yeah right" and then am shocked when they are too big on me! Great feeling to have! Still have the "I'm a fat girl mentality" I really need to work on accepting that this truly is me. I am no longer living in a cocoon of fat. I should be proud and not hide behind my clothing like I used to. But it's hard to change that mindset!

I cut my hair super short about three months ago because of the hair loss. It definitely made my hair look thicker (and my hair is really dark, too). However, now that the hair loss is slowing down, I'm ready to start the growing-out process. I really do like it better longer but I was so self-conscious of the thinning, I decided to go for it. You can rock it either way. :-)

I need to do the pouch test or something to jump start my weight loss--shake it up a bit. I've been stuck at 162 for 5 weeks. Prior to that it was 165 for five weeks. My weight loss is creeping along at a snail's pace.
Other than moving along slowly, I feel great! I'm enjoying the whole shopping experience again. Interestingly, it has been a bit of a struggle to get use to shopping again. I was so programmed at grabbing XL and XXL, I can't get use to being a medium. Ahhh, the simple things!

You look great! Congratuations! I forgot it was the 14th. I'm doing great. I feel great. I've lost a lot of weight. My health is so much better.
My doctor seems to think I should have lost more at this point, but I dont' agree with him. I'm happy with what i've lost and I'm still chugging along. I've got a long way to go, but I know I'm going to get there.

Put some ice in your beer or wine, that helps to make it flat. It also dilutes it a little more, so you're really not drinking as much alchol. You have to have a Guinness on St. Patrick's Day. Just a little ice, it'll be OK. (I'm a bad influence, ha, ha)

I have drink a glass every now and then.. but I try not to make it a regular routine.. quite a few wines especially my use to be favorite Merlot is high in calories and carbs.. UGH.. so if i choose to drink I try a glass of Mascoto or white wine.. 3 oz's equals to around 87 calories 10 percent carbs.. Merlot on the other hand is around 150 calories 30 percent carbs... i try to keep my carbs down to below 55 percent.. but I do have a trick for when i do choose to indulge.. if I go out dancing Salsa dancing, hip-hip, or reggae.. then I drink the 3 oz's of wine and burn the calories during the dancing LOL!! try it it works.. it also lessen the WOOW feeling
if you know what I mean.. i can't hold water now... but my Doc says its okay every now and then.. so I save for special occasions..
