49.9

Nov 27, 2010

This morning I weighed 300 pounds... I'm so close to the 200's and I so want to get there by my 1 month... 3 days away.  Weight loss has slowed way down, but I can tell I'm losing inches.  I am shrinking.  It is fun to put something on and it be too big!  I'm getting complements on how I look... especially that my face is thinner... yes.... I have always had a pretty face... maybe someday someone will say my @ss is smaller or getting cuter!

But I didn't do this for vanity... for complements... for pretty clothes... I did this for my health.  My blood pressure has been normal since post op at the hospital.  I have been taking it weekly and I am shocked every time that it is in the normal range.  How quickly my body thanked me for dropping just a little weight.

HUGE thing this morning... I calculated my "new" BMI based on my weight loss so far and am humbled again... For the first time in over 5 years I am less than half fat!  By one tenth of a point, I am under 50% fat.  I am so happy in this moment.  I am so thankful.  Though this feels slow, I am doing this.  My body and I are a team and we are working together for my health.

Today 49.9 is a beautiful number!
