On the treadmill yesterday:

I just use a pair of scissors and rotate the point until it carves a new hole.

Its fun and exciting.

The other day I got mad because something interfered with my workout time. LOL.

I never used to work out, other then swimming.

I have been saying that for the last 2 weeks.

I have been trying to figure out the last time I was at my current weight. It's been over 10 years.

That's what I did, well not with scissors but went out to the work bench with a pocketknife and made a new hole. I'd like to skip over the next size and wear the prefectly good one hanging in the closet.

But for the last 8 years I've had to buy bigger and bigger belts.

honestly believe my car mileage is better because I weight 60 pounds lighter. like 2,3 MPG better.

I keep fairly good track of my fuel mileage. I am amazed at what I have recently getting.

Your gas mileage is probably slightly better!!!

Every 8lbs you lose is like adding an extra 1hp to the car.

So if you drive the same it is taking about 8hp less to propel you!!!! Now for the bad news. You BMR works the same way....as you lose weight, you burn less calories to do the same basic things.

This XL fits great.

I can get clothes at Wal Mart and Target ( which is good since I keep getting slimmer and need new cheap clothes).

I'll see if I can jog alittle longer today.

I never thought I'd pass up on a low cut dress for an occasion - becuase it showed that I have no cleavage and my chest bones stick out, lol.

I said the other day at Logan's - "...a booth is fine..."

I know I was marveling at that a couple weeks ago when we went out for lunch.< /p>

Wearing medium size clothing is totally awesome. Especially since 3X were tight.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
