5 more pounds and i'll be over weight!

after almost 6 monthsi've lost 82 pounds and my BMI has gone from in the 40's and morbidly obese, to low 30's and obese, in 5 more pounds I'll have a BMI in the 20's and I'll be just OVERWEIGHT!!!! I can't wait to be overweight! hahaha I'm feeling wonderful feel 10 years younger. wearing size 14 and loving going shopping. anyone waiting for surgery please please please when you start to lose and get that first thrill of buying new smaller sizes, don't go crazy and spend alot of money. sure buy one nice thing that makes you feel wonderful BUT keep in mind that in 2 weeks its going to be to big and you've either worn it once or not at all. Keep those receipts! I bought a brand new pair of size 18 lee jeans. After wearing 26's that were too tight these 18's were a big thrill. I didn't get the chance to wear them until two weeks aftr I'd bought them and it was too late!!! They were too big!!! I had to go buy 16's!!! Now I'm wearing size 14's that I bought at goodwill/salvation army for 5 bucks. On the health side...no more arthritis meds since surgery!!! i can zip up and down stairs where before I had to pull myself up. goodluck and god bless, pam

Pam, I am so happy for you! I bought my size 18 "uniform" and wear it everywhere..but I don't care! My sister is moving to Fla and gave me lots and lots of size 14 dresses (her fat clothes)..most of them summer ones...bet I will be past that size by next summer and be giving those dresses to someone else! I am going to hit Goodwill after I get paid this week...for some warmer things for the next couple of weeks. Congratulations on being almost overweight! Joanie
