9 mo update
Apr 09, 2010
Last weekend I was a guest speaker at my surgeon's office. I was very nervous and had no idea what to say. I said a few things that made sense (I guess) and people seemed to be able to take something useful away from my gibberish. I may volunteer to do it again; I'm not sure. I've never been very comfortable talking about myself, especially to a room full of strangers. My mom was able to come along for support.I was disappointed at my last weigh in two weeks ago. I only lost 10lbs. I was hoping to keep up the 12-15lbs a month going for a while. I'm putting forth extra effort by getting some workouts done in the evenings. I want to work out in the mornings with weights, but I haven't been dilligent about getting my room in order. I've gotten my program in order so that's one major hurdle out the way. I even purchased an elliptical machine a few weeks ago off CraigsList.
I've lost 163lbs in 9 months so I really have no business moping, but I am! I'll get over it of course; it just seems so silly to me. Really, all I want is to make it under 200lbs. I walked over to the mall today to pick up some lunch at PF Chang's and I was very excited to be able to walk over there and not feel like I'm dying! I'm so happy I'm not dragging all that weight around, but I really have a long way to go.
I've been able to buy some really cute clothes, but the expense is hurting my pocket a bit. I still wear plus sizes but I have many more options now. I don't have to order all of my clothes anymore. I'm even trying different stores like Burlington Coat Factory and Gallo.
