One year

Well, yesterday was the one year start date of my pre-surgery diet. So, that's a year to me.


I'm down 103.  I have 2 to go.  TWO.  Wow. I'd absolutely do this again.

I'm from a size 18/20 to a loose 8.  I run. (Not fast lol) I am healthy. I have no more bp issues.  

The weirdest thing for me is - I haven't always been overweight -not a lot anyway - so when I was,  in my dreams, I was still smaller.  Now, I have trouble seeing myself at the lower weight.  Sometimes, I walk past a mirror and I have to look twice.

The BMI charts are stupid, btw. I'm still classified as overweight 25.4 - so is my super muscular 16 year old dancer who wears a size 4, though, so... I need to quit even looking at that chart.

I'm so glad I did this.
