Today I wouldn't qualify

       So I only lost 1.2 lbs this week.  That's ok, I've lost about 10 in the previous 2 weeks.  I just realized that my BMI is now too low to qualify for bariatric surgery (according to my insurance).  I am still considered to be in the obese range, but it is a milestone anyway to be below the bariatric surgery BMI. I have been able to do more and more lately and my back hurts less and less.  It seems like I am losing at the same rate as I have been.  I'm so releaved.  I started collecting the troll type beads, one for each ten pounds lost.  I got them on QVC and then someone should me ones you can get from Brighton for even cheaper.  Might try some of those on the bracelet I got from QVC.  I've put it off for as long as I can, but I have to go buy some new clothes, especially bras, Yikes!  I have a decent number of things from smaller sizes years ago, but must get new work uniforms.  I just hate to spend the money right now since I just got to go back to work, but several people have told me how nice I would look if my tops were smaller.  And I'm sure it would make me feel better too.  I have been surprised at the number of people who have said I look younger.  I guess I looked old in a tired sort of way before.  I can, however, see several wrinkles that weren't there before.  I guess people aren't noticing each little wrinkle like I am though.  I hope to be under 200 by the end of the year and am going to start saving for plastics as soon as I get these last few bills payed off.
