almost normal

Aug 25, 2010

Today I weigh 148... 3 lbs from a normal BMI.   I cant believe I am actually in a number range I havent seen since I was 18.. and then it was only briefly.. as I was in the 160s in high school.  What a crazy journey this has been. While going through the weight loss stuff my personal life has been a wild ride too with my kids special needs issues and trying to renovate and move and such.  Life is still very crazy.. havent moved yet and in fact am now having to homeschool the kids because of lack of services and understanding of FASD for the kids which made it unsafe. However a good thing is that since I have lost weight my cymbalta is working much better so I am less overwhelmed by it all.. its working. lol.  SO life is nuts but Im doing ok.
Ive decided to try to make my goal of being normal .. and then probably the 130 eventually too but not going to fret about it. I ve given up my snow cone sugar addiction in hopes of attaining that goal. Amazing how just the one change and I go to losing again. Instead of snowcones Im eating my sf jello with whipped cream again. or when i go to big town i can get sf snowcones. Anyway.. Im doing great.
   I think hubby is a bit taken aback as now I have officially lost more than he ever did with his gastric bypass. The only thing is that he started at 511 and I started at 312.. so even though Ive lost only a couple of lbs more.. He never got anywhere close to a normal bmi and is still smo due to regain and now I am only  3 lbs away from normal. We are still seeking a revision for him to have the DS as well but  several things have to happen first.
Anyway.. just thought Id update.   I am so very thankful and I love my DS.
