May 26 - 285 days post op - "Morbid" no more!

Today I finally met my second short term goal. I can drop the term 'morbid' and be just obese! (Who woulda thought I would ever celebrate THAT term? Oh well, we take our joy where we can find it!) It took longer to get there than I had hoped, but that's okay. My BMI is down by 14 (49 to 35) and a total weight lost of 87 pounds. Clothing sizes went from a women's 26 (some snug) to an 18 (some loose). Even my shoe size is smaller (THAT was a surprise!)

My next goal is to get to be 'just' overweight. The more exciting part of the next goal is that it will get me back into the 100's! I still have trouble imagining that, it has just been so long.

So, my fellow Lappies, that is about all I have for an update this time. I'm still trying to get a teaching job for next year. Still having trouble finding one. Looking forward to the end of the school year, even though it also means the end of the substitute paychecks...
