I Cried Today

Well i dove into my closet today to get rid of clothes and to go through clothes i bought a couple of years ago off clearance racks when i was losing weight. The clothes in the bucket with tags on them i thought i would never be able to wear. I ended up putting more than half back in a bucket for a sale they were all too big. I could put on the 16's (i started at a large 28). I picked up an old skirt that i never wore it was huge and i just started bawling. So ashamed of myself for letting things go so far. Then i continued crying because i was happy I have just about reached my goal of losing 100 lbs and i had set it for March so im a month ahead of schedule. Now i think im gonna cry again lol i only have 3 pair of pants i can wear lol that arent baggy. OH well ill stock up later right. I might actually have a wardrobe again some day. I also was told yesterday i couldnt possibly be old enough to have a child who was a sophomore in HS. I had noticed People have gone from calling me mam to hon . Does this mean im looking younger im not sure but im liking it. Tamm O

WOW!!! Almost 100 lbs,That's great! You had your surgery 1 day before me and I'm only at -64 lbs. I'm happy though just wanted to say congrats on you great loss! Tonya King

Never say only 64 lbs is super. I figure i may be losing a little more quickly than others now but tomorrow that may change. Who knows how this all works i sure dont i just work at it everyday. Congrats to you too on your great loss. Tammy O

Thanks!

I had my surgery Sept 26th and I have lost 60 so we are about at the same weight loss so keep your chin up!!

Yesssss, That means you are looking great !!!! I am so proud of you. ( Crying is really good for you !!!!! ) Maybe thats what you needed was a good cry !!!! I think you need to go and buy you a new outfit. Clothes are so cheap right now. They are on sale everywhere. Hugs Barb

Ive bought a few things in a smaller size than i am right now and then one more size down . I can put the 16s on and pull the 14s up and almost fasten them so probably just a few weeks how weird is that. I found jeans at Target for 5 bucks such a deal. Tammy O

you are doing so well congratulations on your weight loss. do you track what you eat everyday, (ie calories, protein and carbs) if so would you mind sharing with me???? Micha

NO i dont track unless the weightloss stops. I kept a food diary up until xmas with calories, fat, protein so i know about what things are and what more i need to eat to get the protein in. I pay more attention if i stall for a few days. I do notice if i stay away from fat completely i stall i dont know if its because my body tries to store it or what but i eat a few peanuts or something like that and wha la it seems to help. Still probably not going over the fat intake for the day but i eat very little added fat like butter or anything i try to buy fat free condiments. Tammy O

Gosh 100 lbs. you're doing great. I had my surgery 9/6/2005 and I've lost 82 lbs. I am so thrilled. Keep up the good work. It's wonderful talking to people who are going through the same things that I am going through. Diana
