Under 200! Reached my first goal!
Nov 10, 2009
I stepped on the scale yesterday morning and weighed in at 198.5! I was dancing on the ceiling! What a feeling it is to be under 200. I've been getting some walking in everyday and that helped me push past my first plateau. I was hovering around 200 for 3 weeks! I am finally all healed too. The area where the drain was has taken over 2 months to heal! It now has scar tissue over it. Up until this week, it still had a scap over it. I was wondering if it would ever really heal. But it did, finally. I need to start using vitamin E and rub on the spots to keep the scar tissue from being so hard. I've been doing well with the eating plan and haven't had to worry about any strange cravings. What a blessing that is. I will be going to a Thanksgiving dinner but don't think it will be a problem. I'll eat what my body says it needs and that will be that. The size 16's are getting very baggy on me, so I guess for December, I'll be looking into size 14 clothes. I'm down 76 pounds this year! My doctor was so pleased a couple of weeks ago that I was down 73 pounds, but now it is more. I only have 38 more pounds to go and I will be at goal. I may reach that before my birthday! I'm so glad all the bumps are over and I'm on track for being healthy. The first part of next year will be a period to investigate a back surgeon. Gee, I'll have a whole new body! Whatever shall I do with it? LOL
