Reality check time...
Hello all...hope everyone is doing well! I REALLY need to get a computer and/or start reading these posts more often. I am SOOOOO behind on the goings on of this forum! I apologize for that and I send everyone my very best wishes!! I missed Bridget's re-birthday too and I'm sorry Bridget!! (Belated re-birthday wishes sent to you my friend! Hope you had a GREAT day!!)
Well now the update on me...I FINALLY BROKE 200!! I was stuck on this damn plateau for what seemed like forever and I was just sitting at 202. Then I went to visit my sister at work and borrowed her scale. FINALLY...FINALLY I weighed less. The scale actually read 197. I was just about shocked to tears. I haven't weighed less than 200 since I was like 12. That's 18 years. Can you believe it?!?! I couldn't!! Anyway, I went to
Wal-Mart a few days ago and since I had been able to fit into a size 14, I decided (just for $hits and giggles) to go ahead and buy a size 12. I was so ready to be disappointed when they didn't fit. I got home and I went into my bedroom (so no one else-my kids-would see me struggling to get them up over my hips and butt). I took off my shoes and pants and sighed a long sigh. Ready to feel like a fat a$$ AGAIN. But they fit! I screamed and cried and ran around my house like a crazy person. My kids thought I had lost it! Then I told them what size jeans I had on and, eventhough they still thought I was nuts, they ran up and hugged me! My mom and dad were dancing around and hugging me when we went to visit them last weekend, and my sister freaked when I told her. I now know that despite how much weight I will lose in the future, these MAJOR milestones feel like I'm reversing the clock and giving me back the time I lost trapped in that fat body. I LOVE IT!!!
I love you all and look forward to seeing you all again SOON!!
