Another reason to celebrate!

My BMI is now 29.9

I am no longer obese. And I never will be again.

Drinks on me all around the table.

Just stopping in to update.....

When I stepped on the scale this morning, I had to step off and then back on....off and then back on....it registered 165.8 every time.

Which means I am officially 100 lbs down from my highest recorded weight!!!

I will hold off on celebrating CENTURY CLUB until I hit 155!!!

I've been having some stomach pain recently. With my current stress level (not to mention my smoking) I fear it's an ulcer.

I have a appointment with Dr. Juarez a week from Tuesday so we will see....it could also be my gall bladder.......Whatever it is. It's worth it.


Some day I will post about all the UPGRADES that I am experiencing. I would love to share it with my tt family just not EVERYONE who may not be part of our little world

That's great news Amanda. I'm looking forward to next year when I can say that! I'll bet you feel that it's hard to believe you were ever obese.

Congrats!

CONGRATULATIONS! That's awesome!

Not sure what you're talking about with the recent upgrades comment, but I'm assuming its all GOOD NEWS!

Good luck with the tummy trubble diagnosis... Gall Bladderitis seems to be running rampant on TT these days... hope it's a simple thing to figure out and treat, whatever it is!

(and stop smoking, ok?)

Oh hey,

Just dropping in to say hello....I know that I have been MIA but I've always been a "wear your heart on your sleeve girl" and I feared I would spill too much and that it would be too public.

But now,
It doesnt even matter.
Now,
I have nothing to lose.

so believe me.....it's coming......

I did have an appointment with Dr. Juarez and he ordered the nurse to schedule a ct scan. That went unscheduled until I called and badgered them a bit......I now have a location but not a date.

I'm sure it's my gallbladder. The pain is extending into my back......however I have a high tolerance for pain and can handle it. The CT scan will be scheduled by early next week.

And
in other news.....there are UPGRADES all around.

Upgraded BODY, Upgraded MAN, Upgraded car.
(which I may have to give back because of previous ENGAGEMENTS)

well we will catch up on all that later and I look forward to catching up with all of you......

Thanks for your support and your comments up there. I let fear hold me back from writing it all out but it's time to let go of the fear and let love rule.

P!
How wonderful! Sounds like you are in the pink!
Good to hear back from you - sorely missed indeed!
Have a great weekend... (with the great BODY and great MAN!)
Pity about the car though...
Cheers,
Vim
