I did something similar..... I was bitching about "only 45 lbs" and couldn't tell. My hubby got ticked, took me out to the garage to the weight equipment, handed me 2 20lb weights. And said, THAT IS WHAT YOU WERE CARRYING AROUND!! Hit home.

I picked up a 22 pound bag of chicken feed at the grocery store and walked up and down the aisle with it. Pretty impressive, since I have lost around 28 pounds. No wonder I trudged up the steps!! Another 50 pound loss and I'll be floating!!!

I like seeing how much less space the muscle takes up. That's encouraging. Fat loss = inches gone. Yippee!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
