I'm in "onederland"!!
Apr 24, 2009
I made it to "onederland" this week and it feels so good. Haven't been under 200 pounds in a long time so I am happy. Sometimes when I fold my arms across my body it feels weird because they actually reach all the way across my body and then some. I feel terrific physically too and that's one question that people ask me often. I think my body was so full of junk and too much food all the time that I didn't realize I felt so crummy.I am eating a general diet now and it is going so well. I am doing quite well choosing a variety of foods (thanks Amy for the wonderful menus you gave me) thanks to the dietician at UIHC. I am eating the right portions/amounts at each meal and it is really going well. I have tried fresh fruits a little bit more and they are going down just fine. Chewing to mush is the key! I have not tried meats other than chicken, turkey, tuna, hamburger (in casseroles/tacos), venison and soy meats (Boca burgers). I don't want to push those too quickly but will try them once in awhile.
I have lost a total of 46 inches and 60.2 pounds since October. I have never lost this much weight before so it's new territory for me. I am down four sizes in clothing and will be down another size pretty soon. It is so wonderful to be losing and feel terrific for the first ime in a long, long time.
Thanks for checking in on me and let me know if you have questions for me. I'm always happy to talk about my personal experience.
Carol
