A few more pounds down...I guess.
Jan 17, 2009
Got through the holidays and I'm still a few pounds down without trying. I have to get on OH just to see I am losing. I was at a meeting last night with gals I hadn't seen since our convention in July/August and they were telling me I looked like I had lost a lot more weight since they saw me last. I said "no I think I have maintained" so today I thought Ok get on and see. Well, they were right. I am down 12lbs since I saw them. I am actually shocked I had no idea. NO really I didn't. I knew recently I was down but I really thought I was maintaining up till now. I had no idea I had dropped 12lbs and that you could even tell! When I was at my heaviest (317) I had to lose almost 80lbs before anyone could tell. No kidding! So this is odd to me. I am still shooting for the 160's before my plastic surgery. I'm close now.Can I just say something, I had a weird moment last night. I had several of my friends that haven't seen me in awhile actually call me "skinny". Am I really skinny or are they just saying skinnier than you were you big cow! I do not think I am skinny. I wear a size 14 so that in my mind is not skinny although I am closing in on a 12. I am solidly in a Large womens top but have been able to buy a few Mediums lately. Once in awhile I stil have to buy an XL so that keeps my mind from thinking skinny. Do you ever feel like you have "arrived" I still can not say "I am at goal". 173 is still not in my healthy range. But I am close so that is what I am striving for. When my BMI is in the healthy range I will officially say I have gotten to goal. Anything normal or healthy will be GOAL! Well, thanks for listening to me if you are reading this. Leave a comment and your profile so I can come say Hi! After all it's all about support....we can't do this alone.
Until next time.....
