Progress
Jul 02, 2009
Well I am down 41lbs and over 21"....who knew!!! I still need to work on getting my water in. I don't know why that is giving me trouble. I am eating a litte more and so far have had no real issues to speak of. Sometimes I forget that I need to eat very slowly but its only made me sick a couple of times so I am working on that. I feel so much better than I have in years. I can do so much more. Its amazing how when you are putting the weight on you don't even realize how much you have gained and how bad things really are until you start losing the weight and its like a whole new world opens up to you, one you had forgotten and left behind. I LOVE feeling this way. I am feeling better and better every week. I am so much more active and I still have a long way to go but I am so going to enjoy the journey. Its been difficult at times....especially when you have a stall and the numbers on the scale don't move but its so important for me to remember that the numbers on the scale may not move but the inches are going down. I still do not see the change when I look at myself. I know that sounds crazy but I don't see what everyone else sees. I feel it and I know my clothes are baggy etc but I still see me as the before. Its very strange. But it is so nice to hear the comments from people, its so encouraging to me. I know its coming off but when will I actually see my body differently? Its just nuts! Anyway I am happy with the results so far and I know I am going to be even happier when more weight is gone. My only regret is I did not do this sooner, but if I had I would not have had Dr. Sonnanstine as my doctor and I think he is the absolute BEST there is. I went for a check up with him last week and his wife, Debbie (she is a nurse practitioner) was helping out in the office and she is as nice or more so it thats possible than him. I just loved her. She is so down to earth and she is just as caring and supportive as he is. She should work there all the time. She is a tremendously nice lady, and very cute....they are perfect for each other it seems....Well I have been working outside trying my best to get a place set up for the pool my neighbor gave me but it has been extremely hard work and my husband is not happy with the idea that I got it and want to put it up. He thinks it is going to be more of a mess and trouble than its worth so he is not very helpful. I do tend to agree now but I have already put so much work and money into it that I need to see it finished. I was off work this week and for the end of June and early July it is rather cool out. My garden seems to be doing well. I have started so much outside because I feel so much better but next year I think will be even better, I got a very late start this year because of the surgery and losing the weight. Next year I will start early on my stuff and be able to do even more so I am looking forward to that. I am so much happier because of getting this weight off and I hope and pray I do not go back to the way I was. Its possible to gain back but I am going to try my best to be a success for life because I hated where I was and don't ever want to go back to that again. I thank God every day for His guidance, love, and support. Without Him I would have nothing. He has truly blessed me and I am thankful.
