Whats up????

Oct 30, 2010

So, I have gone over the 80 pounds mark in right around 4 months, but I am plateauing a bit. I know it will pass, but it still hurts a bit. My goal now is 100 by Christmas, which, if I step it up, WILL happen.

BUT..........

Shopping for clothes got easier..... I went to get new pants for work. I still use the 20's and 22'a I had leftover. Mostly because I knew it would be a waste to buy anything right away. My highest was 24 BTW....
So I go and get new pants. I went to the "big girl section", because lets face it, thats where I ahve shopped for 10 years. They were too big. I was able to get 14's for the first time since I was in the military. Yes, in the Army I was a 14. In junior high I was a 12.... But I was never "fat". Just "thick". Fat came when I was 26, and became sedentary.

So buying new clothes is WAAAAY more fun now, but I don't want to waste my new found shopping experience on 14's. I am going to wait until I am at least a 10 or 8 before I hit it good.

Looking at my size as opposed to weight is something I need to focus on too. I am stalled, but lost a size. So inches are leaving. But pounds aren't. So I haven't weighed myself lately. And I don't think I will for a couple weeks. I need to fiocus on activity  and not worry about numbers.

Being this ready to get to the next level is soooo incredible.


I checked out a book at the library today. Is Weight Loss Surgery Right For you? By Glenn Goldberg. What an incredible read. He went through everything I have. Sadly, he passed away from heart problems NOT from complications. BUT...... I have to say my motivations had been slipping, since there are no support groups here in Port Angeles, WA. His book re-instilled it in me. I read his book almost completely this afternoon.
