Extremely Obese Now.....

Yeppers, I am offically extremely obese now, I've lost another 13 lbs. making a total loss of 122 lbs. -- I'm so proud of myself, I have a pic I will be submitting pretty soon..... I can really see the difference now, all my clothes are too too big, I know I need to get a few new pieces, for sure I'm going to the consingment/goodwill stores, its pointless to buy new clothes, when I have so much more to loose..... One thing kinda scares me, is that sometimes I can eat more than I thought, today I went to a crab festival with my sister, and, although I didnt eat alot, compared to what I used to be able to eat, I ate alot considering, is that normal....? I didnt make a pig of myself or anything, I did have a can of soda {I know I know}; but I wanted it sooo badly, it didnt react badly on me like the first time I had one, but I dont think I will be having anymore, I'm content with water and juice.... One thing that is a positive that I've noticed lately, is that I'm feeling really extra lately -- I've been getting noticed by men more and more {that always feels good}; I even met a guy who wanted to take me out to lunch { if only he knew}; we havent gone yet, because my schedule is so busy, but I think that's nice to be noticed -- then of course I wonder why it took me to loose the weight to get that attention, but then I remember how our society is, and I get my answer.... Well its late here in S.F., good evening/night everyone.... Its time.....

congrats on your weight loss! That is great, cant wait to see the new pics. It is nice to get noticed isnt it. Enjoy every min of it you are working hard and deserve it. Also go to lunch with that man, remember even with our hectic schedules we need time for ourselves!!! LisaMarie

Latricia, Congratulations on your weight loss. This whole process amazes me everyday. Bet you never thought you would being the happy dance to hear you are extremely obese vs morbidly obese. It only gets better from here too. =) As far as eating more, I find me eating more sometimes that I normally do. I find that depending on what I eagt determines how much I can eat. so each day is different. I think it is so mice to be noticed now and get all the great compliments. Now is our time to shine. Have fun with it. =) Kelli

YOU GO GIRL!! CONGRATULATIONS!! I once had a BMI of 60.5, so I can totally relate to how you are feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! About the eating, I can now eat more than I before too (I used to throw up every other day from a couple of bites of food!) and sometimes that scares me, but I just keep reminding myself that eventually I will be back to "normal" (somewhat) and I have to make good choices, just like I had to before the surgery! Now I have more incentive to keep that up for life! HUGS, Vi
