Oh I forgot....

LOL, I just posted my other blog and forgot to mention..that at my last clinic appointment it is official I AM NO LONGER MORBIDLY OBESE! WOOOHOOO..

Yes it still sucks being in the obese category, but hey not being called morbidly obese is pretty cool.

Ok, that was all...

No new info to report...but

I am still being faithful to myself and posting in my blog. I haven't been to the clinic in a week. I typically go on Saturdays but this past Saturday they were closed, so I am going to wait until this next Saturday.

I am doing really good during the week and ok on the weekends. This past weekend was my wedding anniversary and hubby surprised me with a trip to Joe's Crab Shack. I ate what I wanted, but what I ate wasn't so bad. I had CRAB, and LOT's of it, and peel and eat shrimp. I ate a little bit of the corn on the cob, but no potatoes, no alchohol, and no dessert. So the biggest no no I did was dip my crab in butter. So, it could have been worse, and it tasted so fricken GOOD! So my thought it, if I gained a pound or two it was well worth it!

Earlier today I was looking at myself in the mirror in the bathroom (full length mirror) and I was looking at my butt. I have on a pair of black pants I wear to work quite often. My pants are pretty loose now, and my butt looks saggy. It made me laugh.

Hope you all have a great week and Happy Dieting!

XOXO

How I am doing...

Last week or week before I posted I was back, and then I disappeared again. LOL, my new job doesn't allow me the freedom like I once had. That is ok though, because I am loving my new position. There still is stress, but on a different level, a level that I can manage. When I leave work at night I can leave everything behind and not have to think about it anymore until I get here in the morning. That is so refreshing.

I am doing great on my diet. Last week I weighed in and was a 216.2 which was a new low for me. :) I have purchased some smaller new jeans and have put away the larger size ones in the back of the closet. I don't know why, I am just not ready to part with them yet. I think it is because when I have lost a certain amount I want to take a picture of the new me in my old jeans.

I also am wearing just regular XL shirts. No more plus sizes, 1x, 2x, or 3x do I have to buy. I was a little shocked about this. I went to Goodwill to take some stuff in and I ended up browsing the clothes. Before I started this new life, I was wearing a 3x top. So I fiugred 1x would be a good size to try on. I found some tops that were cute and I went to try them on and I was shocked that they were so big. So for the first time in a long long time, I went to the regular sizes and picked out two tops that were just regular XL and holy moly they fit. I bought them, I couldn't help it. :)

I wore one of the tops yesterday with my new smaller jeans to work and quite a few people took notice. I heard "are you getting skinny", "you look great", to some people even nicknaming me "skinny". It feels wonderful! All my life I have been overweight, and I have never been called skinny before. Now I know that at 216 lbs, I am no where near skinny, but my hard work is being noticed.

I am having family visit me at the end of October. They haven't seen me since April and I know they are going to be shocked when they finally see me. I hope by that time I will be under 200! I am working hard to acheive that goal. They ask for pictures all the time and the only thing they have seen is my face. I can't wait to see the look on their face when they see the rest of me.

Anyway, hope all of you out there are doing well. I have missed blogging and it feels good to get this out there.

Till next time...Happy Dieting!
