8 Months down

Dec 17, 2008

I have made it to the eight month mark.  The time has gone by so fast.  I am pretty happy with my progress.  I am down to 213.6#, (that's 130.4# down since surgery).  I am still looking forward to the day that I am below 200, then ultimately 170#.  Then I can hope to see 150 (I think).  My hunger is starting to creep back on somedays and that does scare me!!!  I have not done this to only go back to where I once was.  I have to admit that I could be exercising a lot more, but sometimes I just don't have the energy to do that after working my 12 hr shifts at the hospital.  I still see the "circus fat" girl when I look in the mirror, but I know there is a difference.  I have run into some past co-workers who haven't seen me in a year or more, and they were very suprised at the difference in me.  The loose skin is starting to bother me more, especially the panni area... I just hate it...period!!  I do love being able to walk into any store and be able to buy stuff off the racks.  I have definitely been hitting the clearance racks when I have been out shopping.  I am down to about a size 20 pants, and 1x shirt.   2 pairs of jeans that I bought for vacation this past August have made it into the goodwill pile, they were practically falling off; what a great feeling!!!!  Until next time....
