Onederland, I'm almost there!
Feb 24, 2012
2 pounds to the milestone '100' I can hardly believe it! (I've lost a total of 119 since the very beginning but couldn't seem to put that number out there for the world to see.)So my 100 lb weight loss starts at my highest weight on my profile.
Things have been going fairly well. Although I struggle daily with taking in enough protein and liquids. (I know I'm in good company in this department.) Since surgery my old friend 'water' and I no longer get along like we used to. We were best of buds! I drank H20 to my heart's content prior to surgery and still to this day have a hard time swallowing it just to take daily vitamins! I hope one day to rediscover my love for aqua but until then I sip away on crystal light type drinks and vitamin water. Coffee is still a morning routine. 2 cup maximum for this girl or I will talk your ears off! I've never been a 'soda gal' (I have never liked anything carbonated so any caffeine gets my engines running!) And protein shakes are still my saving grace!
I do find myself making my husband sweet treats and I find I only eat 1 cookie, if that. Sweet things now taste sweeter than usual and I just don't like them like I used to. Ice cream used to be my greatest weakness and in my head I say I'd like some, end up buying a half gallon, spooning out a small dish and end up throwing most of it away. (My noggin still LOVES ice cream, my belly not so much.)
I still outwalk my dog (you'd think he'd know the routine by now!) I sleep less, am not tired enough in the daytime to grab a nap and am not ready for bed by 9pm any longer. I never realized how much I slept until I didn't 'need' to.
I feel light as air some days and still catch myself looking in the mirror and not knowing who the person is staring back at me. (I've yet to take any pictures, maybe then I would 'see.' I'm now wearing 14/16 jeans and xl shirts and have given all my old clothes away.
I thank God everyday for this gift that has been given to me. The gift of a healthier life and for my amazing husband knowing he loved me at my highest weight when I didn't even love myself.
Life is good!
