I told her not to let me catch her

Aug 06, 2011

Right after I had my surgery, I was talking to a good friend of mine.  She is over 50yrs old and had one of those bodies that made you think she was much younger. I told her, "don't let me catch up with you, and then you end up having to give me your clothes".  It was said in fun and we laughed about it. Basically, she had started gaining some weight, and I stopped playing and started begging "girl, do not let me catch up!" She kept saying "I know girl, I'm gaining and I got to do something" Well, she has just given me one of her cute strapless outfits a few weeks ago. When I talked to her two days ago, she asked "so what are your numbers looking like?" I told her 243lbs. She said "you caught me girl, you caught me!" She is 238lbs. That was unbelievable to me. Another mind blowing event was when I was at my sister's house lastnight, and a friend of ours asked me the same thing "what do you weigh now?" When I told her, she said "you weigh less than me!" I stared at her for a minute and she said "yes hon, you do".  It's funny that you never see yourself getting smaller than your peers that have ALWAYS been smaller than you.  When it happens, it boggles your mind like you wouldn't believe.  It seems that I'm having more days where I can get in more calories.  Still not getting as much calories as I need, but if I can get close to 900 on most days, then I'm doing good.  I still have the tight pouch days where I can't get more than 600 calories, but I'm trying.  The days I get more calories, the more I lose that week.  Now if I can just get better at taking my vitamins every single day, I'd be alright.  Be blessed OH fam.
