Almost 8 weeks later.......

Jun 16, 2011

44 lbs are gone...forever!   What a journey the last 2 months have been though.  Up and down...regret and happiness...I think it would be safe to say that my family thought I wouldn't survive the first 4-5 weeks.  Or maybe they thought they wouldn't survive it.  Anyway, we all did.  The last few weeks have been GREAT!  I feel really good.  I am finally getting the hang of this "job" and I say that because it is.  Calories, carbs, sugar, vitamins, protein, etc...it's enough to wear a girl out. 

Last year, I cleaned out my closet.  I had made up my mind that I was just going to be large the rest of my life and I was going to have to just cope with it.  My band had failed me and I wasn't willing to do anything drastic again.  Boy am I glad that my mindset changed!  When I cleaned out the closet, I gave all the clothes that I couldn't wear to my mom.  Thought maybe she could wear them.  Last night, she returned the favor.  She returned everyone of them.  I have never been so excited to see those smaller sizes.  AND THEY FIT! 

I am 1 lb away from being in the 220 range.  Goodbye to 70, 60, 50, 40, 30...now the 220's.  I hope that happens by in the morning.  Impatient would not even begin to describe the OCD I have with that dang scale.  I'm joining a gym today and I never thought that would happen EVER.  Nervous and excited though. 

Well, that's enough rambling for today.
