WOW... again..

Aug 05, 2011

When I started this journey, at my highest weight I was 400 pounds at least.
I am now at 240... that is 160 pounds, gone... ( I refuse to say lost as lost implies I want to find it,.., and lord knows I have no intention of finding it ever again)
The BMI calculator here had my BMI at 59.. super morbidly obese....
today it is at 35.4 merely obese... I never thought I would see the day when I would be happy with being obese... but at this point, my BMI is almost half of what I started at... I say that calls for a loud WHOOP...
From a size 32 to a size 22...(almost)
I have lost 6 inches in my chest... (now these are some inches I would like to find again) not an area I really wanted to loose it in... and wondering if when its all said and done can we take whats left over and put it back in the deflated balloons I call my breasts.. its a thought people...
Gone are 9 inches so far in my waist.. for the first time in I can't remember how long,when I look down I dont see belly poking out past my boobs... I see boobs (well if I am wearing a really good bra, you know the kind...push up and out) and then floor... thats freaking awesome.
Gone are 9 inches from my hips...
Gone are 4 1/2 inches from my thigh... ( I admit that this is one of those areas where the skin is killing me)
Gone are 2 inches from my calve
Gone are 2 1/2 inches from my upper arm... bat wings anyone... OMG... (and one is like 3 inches bigger then the other. How does that happen?)
Gone are 2 inches from my neck... I have a neck again... see it was there hiding all along...(kinda like  my lap)
Gone are 2 inches from my forearm...
Thats 37 inches in all so far, ( and thats only measuring one side of my body)
I am litterly half the person I once was and more woman then I ever was... ( had to throw that one in there)
and I am not quite 10 months out from surgery....
So.. clap with my while I do the happy dance..( looks like the chicken dance, anyone remember the chicken dance??)
