  13. Pending where I'm in!
  14. 3 months 11 days. Feel better now than I did a month ago. food seems to be getting easier to hold down. The importance of chewing can not be overlooked. Eating slowly is extremely important. The more I chew the better I hold things down. So now I can eat meat again! The only things I have issue with now is things high in fat or scrambled eggs. Over easy eggs and soft boiled go down just fine. HW 304 CW 232. 72 pounds down. 86 pounds to go. Had to quit walking for a bit. But after orthotics I can now start walking again. Walked 2 miles today for the first time is almost 3 weeks. It's a lot warmer now outside than it was 3 weeks ago lol. Sweated my booty off............I hope! My 16's are now loose on me. I'll have to get new paints/capris soon. Kinda putting it off. I've got fat girl syndrome again. My bra size has gone from a 42/44 G to a 38G. But lately no matter how loose my clothes get or what size bra I'm in now I am in fat girl mode. I look in the mirror and see fat face. Fat butt. Fat gut. Fat legs. You get the idea. The important thing is I know it's in my head. While I'm not thin I'm not as fat as I was. I know mentally I'm making myself bigger than I was before the journey. Regardless I keep seeing it. I am just going to keep telling myself you can't argue that the clothes are getting bigger ergo you must be getting smaller. I won't give up. I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing and I refuse to allow my mind to sabotage my body. It almost feels as though I'm waging war on myself. My new self must fight my old self and not allow self sabotage to win out. Just one more speed bump along this journey to over come. They said the journey would not be easy. They were NOT joking. Allowing myself to feel like a failure is not allowable. If I was a failure I would not be losing weight. I would not have more energy. My clothes wouldn't be getting looser. The fat girl inside me will not win this game. See you next month. Just remember take it one battle at a time.
