6 months... and drum roll please...

Oct 06, 2009

Greetings all my friends in OH land.
I got an email from OH, asking me to post a 6 mo update.
Sooo, here I am. I am posting.
I have lost 109 pounds. I am about 30 pounds from the doctors goal. I do not know what I will look like there but it will be interesting to see.
I eat well and do not get sick too often...like 6 times in the 6 months. I am still a realative chicken shit to eat a lot of things. I tried a couple of sweetish things an have done ok. I can eat a bite of something and have that be enough. It was my cycle so I tried and well Hell I am human.
I feel good.
Hubby says I look good everyday.
Many people comment on my loss and I still get embarrassed. I think it is becuase for me this was about getting healthy and I am surprised byt he comments about how nice I look. You know I was ugly before right?  Well, I have gone from a tight 26 should've been in a 28 I am sure to a fitting well, but not snug 16, I have gone from a 3X shirt being snug to a large shirt fitting fine. From 296 to 187 today; thus -109 pounds
THAT is sooo freaking weird. I know I had surgery to loose weight, but again wrapping your brain around the actuality of if is pretty tough sometimes.
   When I went shopping to get my 16's I was wearing a 20 and they were loose so I grabed an 18 also loose. At this point I cant say I was all there. I think I was in shock. I grabbed a 16 went back to the dressing room, zipped the pants and  turned and looked behind me for the woman whose legs I was seeing in the mirror.  NO JOKE!  I had tears in my eyes I could not  believ that was really me.
I have no lost as much as my son weighs....he is 11 for pete's sake.
   My arms look like hell and you know what Tought S*&t! I relly do not care. Maybe  I will be able to get them fixed, and maybe not but either way is fine with me.
   I look good in a pair of jeans again. I am not Jennifer Anniston, but I look good in a pair of jeans. That was one of my major goals. Wooo hoo!
  Well, I should go. If ya have any questions regarding my journey please do not hesitate to contact me via pm and I will  answer.
