Only 10 more pounds

Jul 23, 2009

So i'm a couple months out from having my surgery.  i'm trying to learn how to eat "regular" foods.  Who knew that it would be such a job to get enough food in...lol  At my highest weight i was at 440 lbs.  i remember being miserable.  i had like 2 outfits that i could wear because clothes just didn't fit at the store.  i didn't go many places.  everything was overwhelming.  As of today i'm at 309 lbs.  While most people would be like omg you weigh over 300 lbs...i'm grateful to be down to where i am.  My next goal is 299.  To officially be under 300.  i haven't weighed under 300 since i was a senior in high school.  i'm now 33.  i find that i have trouble even remembering that i can go to my closet to pick out clothes.  i got so used to only having a few choices and the clothes were usually out.  my friend gave me her hand me downs and i bought a few clothes for my new sizes.  i get confused as to what to wear.  i go out alot to stores and walk them.  Doesn't mean i have to buy anything but i'm actually walking it.  Earlier this year when i went to a store i  had to make sure it was one that had electric carts.  My legs couldn't handle walking harldy at all.  While i'm still in alot of pain now it's caused usually because i'm on the go.  i can't believe how far i've already come and i can't wait to see where i end up.  i'm so excited to see 299.  i know it'll be here in no time.  i'm looking at starting college next month.  i'm going to become a nurse.  it's something i've wanted to do for a long time but my body wouldn't allow it.  i have to do prereqs before i get into clinicals so my body has more time to heal still.  i can't wait to see my new life.
