5 months out

I am at 100 pounds down....actually 102 pounds down since the beginning of my journey....It's hard to imagine that I would get here (being here is blowing me away)....I remember hearing others talk about it and me thinking, I know you lose weight and all, but I just couldn't wrap my head around it.
I am thrilled to be under 300 pounds....whoooo hoooooo!
I am off my HBP meds, off my CPAP, off my anxiety meds and my acid reflux meds. So I have to take a few vitamins, big whup!
It is so weird being in clothes that my sister wore about 6 months ago...So AWESOME!!!
I am wearing 20/22 pants and 16/18 shirts..I still have some shrugs that are 20's, but I don't really care.....I am just thrilled that I can wear smaller clothes and shop anywhere! My sister took me to Walmart cause she wanted me to try on different size clothes, to really see where I was (she was sure that I was wearing clothes too big) as it turned out...I was and I cried like a baby. Holding these clothes up and praising God that I was so much smaller.
I am struggling with my protein (cause I cannot stand thick, gritty and or milky) but I am going shopping this weekend & hope to get something that I can tolerate. I still struggle with eating slow enough and eating tiny bites...but I am getting better at this, every day.
I even applied for another job at the Bank I work at.....I think I deserve to earn more money and do something that's a bit more challenging. I am trying to get an apartment closer to work, so the cost would be lower (gas is killing me). I even called the people for the back child support that my ex hasn't paid (over $8K) And I just did my income taxes....I am trying to be proactive and doing things to help me.
