down 79 pounds 256/177 - 4-28-09

Apr 28, 2009

I have been doing well. i have lost 79 pounds so far. I am feeling good & excited about all the weight i have lost.  i have hit a few stalls along the way- but i re-evaluate what i am doing at the time & it doesnt last long. I have lost 51 inches of flab.
I am now noticing all the excess skin - yuck. But - i guess its easier to camoflague a few trouble areas than a whole body of fat.
I have been noticing I have been hard on overweight people- I shouldnt be like that, i know - but i seem to be becoming prejudiced towards them.
I dont think i will ever get used to the "hey skinny" - its something i have never been called!
I am now running into the people who are like - dont be getting too skinny, you are fine where you are.... Do people really think i care about what they think??? I am doing this for me & i will quit when i feel good about my weight.
Dr Schram says i should be 136 pounds by Halloween ( my one year) - but for me personally, my goal is 145 pounds. I dont want to be skin & bones- just slender. But  I guess i will decide when i get closer to both weights & see what i think.
I have wayyy too many clothes- i have cleaned out my closet after every size & its now time again. first got rid of the 3x & 22's. then got rid of the 20's & 2x's. next the 18's & 1 x's. Now - its time to get rid of all the 16, 15's & XL's. I am wearing L or some Mediums, 14 & 13's. I have spent wayyy too much money (even at Goodwill prices, i have spent over $400) on clothes. I have started taking in the clothes as they get too big, I am not buying anymore clothes until I am at a 10. A size 8 or 9 is where i plan on stopping- no matter what the scale says.... going from a 22 to an 8 would be heaven.
I am finally "normal" both on the scale & in BMI range. I am so happy not to be categorized as "Morbidly Obese"- what a terrible name -
