It's been way too long!

Sep 20, 2009

I've had 'puter problems and have not been able to post or read about my OH Family....I miss you guys!

It's been a busy few months!

I've been battling with self-image....I FEEL great but when I look in the mirror I don't recognize who's looking back.  It's a very weird feeling.  I am down 157 pounds to date.  I haven't weighed this "little" since 1984. I might have bounced up and down a few times, but it never lasted; I always gained more back.  It's like I am in denial or waiting for the weight to come back. If I think about it often,  it becomes or causes depression.  When I see people I haven't seen in awhile I always hear " I didn't recognize you"  that's exactly how I feel every time I look in the mirror! If I just concentrate on how I feel and my wow moments then I am fine, because I truly feel great. I can do so much more with so much energy that it is truly unbelievable.

My next hurdle since we've spoken is my dumping experience.  SUGAR is NOT my friend.  I ate a small amount by accident trying to prevent my son from making a mess and paid for it for 4 horrible hours and most of the next day.  I am anal about food labels so I could have hit myself when I allowed this stupid thing to happen.  It was a painful, horrible reminder to stay away from sugar. 

My little one also started preschool last week.  Running back and forth has kept me very busy.  He was less hesitant than I was...........LOL.  Kids sure do grow up fast! Glad I am able to take the time and now have the health to enjoy everyday!

All my best to all of you!
