Today, January 21, 2008 was another weigh-in. It has been 2 months since the bypass surgery and I am happy to announce I have lost 62 lbs in 2 months! I am happy with the results but know there is still A LONG WAYS TO GO! Some milestones and achievements reached with this weigh-in: I have gone down 4 sizes in underwear, I have gone almost to the end hole on my belt (need to get the drill out soon to make new holes), I can now fit in 8 pairs of dress slacks that I couldn't 2 years ago, and I was able to clip my own toenails without passing out. The last one seems pretty funny but I consider it quite an achievement (those of you overweight can relate). I can honestly say the best thing to happen since the surgery was I went into a department store today and was able to buy something off THEIR rack rather than having to go to a big and tall store.
DOWN 62 LBS! 138 TO GO! I
WILL GET THERE!
NEXT MONTH'S GOAL:25 LBS. BUT TO BE HONEST I WANT 38 LBS LOST. THAT WOULD GIVE ME 100 IN 3 MONTHS!
BIG SMILE! IT COULD BE THAT I KEPT MY SUPPER OF GARLIC CHICKEN DOWN. IT COULD BE BECAUSE I'M WEARING MY NEW NOTRE DAME HAT I GOT FOR MY BIRTHDAY. BUT I THINK IT'S BECAUSE I LOVE THE GIRL THAT TOOK THIS PICTURE! ONE YEAR FROM TODAY BABY WE'LL BE MARRIED! I
HAVE TO LOSE THAT 200 BY DECEMBER 31, 2008! HELP ME. ENCOURAGE ME. BUT DON'T ANYONE
DARE TELL ME I CAN'T DO IT! BUT THEN AGAIN IT ADDS FUEL TO THE FIRE BECAUSE ALOT OF PEOPLE AT WORK DOUBTED I WOULD GET THIS FAR!
