Seven Months

Sep 28, 2009

Well where do I start...this month was pretty uneventful....real slow weight loss included. Only 4 pounds this month.
I have given up second guessing this weight loss thing, and have decided my body is going to do what ever it pleases regardless of what I try to do. I am only 4 lbs from the 100 lbs lost mark and that 4 pounds is as stubborn as I am. UGH!

I went to the doctor Friday, and he was very pleased. He said for me that anywhere between a BMI of 25 and 28 would be good...so that puts me at between 165 and 175 lbs...that means I have another 20 to 30 lbs to loose....UGH at this rate it will take 6 months! Oh well...I have decided that anything that is left after my one year mark I am going to take the Dolly Parton approach and have it nipped, clipped, sucked and tucked.  Yea that will be a little early, but who cares...as of Friday I will be 46 years old...I do not expect a perfect body, but I would like my thighs to hang around my ass instead of my knees and my stomach to stay put where it belongs, instead of having to move it to see my hoo haa...not that my hoo haa is all that interesting, but it would be nice to just be able to say...hey I can see it without having to lift the garage door. My boobs...well...okay...just well....

I did have some NSV's this month...a couple of them yesterday...First off. I GOT MY ASS IN A SIZE 12! Yepper a 12! I haven't saw that size since my first divorce! They buttoned, and zipped with no problem, and I could bend over and breath at the same time.
2nd... the greeter at my Wally World which I go to every weekend...(no I am not one of those people that have showed up on recent e-mails"The People of Wal-Mart") stopped me yesterday, and said you are losing weight...then he hesitated...and said...you are trying to right? you aren't sick? I said oh yes it is intentional...he said I looked great! The first time this man saw me was a year ago after hurricane Ike...I weighed close to if not over 300 lbs and was riding one of the handicap buggies. So he has seen me shrink, but just now had the courage to say something.
That just goes to show you that it isn't that people don't notice your weight loss...it's that they are afraid to ask...unlike we think...the first thing that pops into their head isn't that you have done something, on a crash diet or doing drugs...they think you may be ill, and are afraid to ask.

Well I really can't think of anything else this month...pics next month...my weight loss has slowed to the point that I don't think it will do much good to show  you every month now...but hey...it is still coming off and that is what matters!
Have a great month
