Life
I'm feeling kind of under the weather and sore today.
Last night was the support group in Belvidere. It was great as normal... i can tell you how supported and understood I feel there. I saw the regulars, Judy, Barb, Terry, Paula, and the really thin lady (sorry I forgot her name she's beautiful though). Last night I met a girl who has lost 151 pounds (I forgot her name too) she looks marvelous! Judy gave me a bunch of clothes!! Thanks Judy!
I've lost a little over 45 pounds at this point and if I didn't wear a makeshift belt in my jeans they would fall to my ankles as I walk. So I know I'm losing, but I can't see it in the mirror. That makes me so sad. Like they told me last night though I guess your mind takes some time to catch up with your body.
I don't think I'm going to be able to go to the gym today, it hurts to even walk (helped carry my new furniture up to my apartment (yes I know I'm an idiot)) That makes me sad, but my stomach has been upset so I dont think I'm going to take in enough food to burn anyway... I think today might be a liquid day. I think I might be coming down with the flu that everyone is getting.

Hi Brooke! I hope you start feeling better soon.Your lucky you have that support group there i don't have one in streator.There is one in ottawa but my kid has had game for the last meeting and the next one too.I wi**** wasn't so far so i could go see all you guys!! I got three miles in today and did 4 yesterday.i was feeling the four miles today i was going to try to do 4 todat but my body said no way.I'm trying .thanks jeff
Brooke, I'm gonna dig some belts out of my closet for you. I've never been a belt person, so you're welcome to them. That rope kills me.
It was so good to come to support group, I guess I needed it worse than I realized. I'm always beating myself up about not getting enough exercise or losing fast enough, but I know I have to stop comparing myself to everyone else. And it always makes me feel better to see you and Paula and know that you're going through the same thing. Don't push yourself too hard. If your body is hurting, that's your sign to ease up. And NO MORE furniture lifting!

Brooke- you are doing great! 45 lbs in just a little over a month(almost 2) is awesome! I dont grasp the image thing yet, but I know my sister had/ has a huge problem with it. I mean, it got so bad she turned anoxeric and was down to 66 lbs. I honestly dont know how she lived. But even at 66 lbs, she still saw herself as the 199 lb 13 yr old girl that she once was. She's doing better, got to 130, but is back to 105, but I talked to her today and she said she's happy where she is, so that was good.
Ughh, sorry for rambling.
You just keep up the awesome work you are doing, take some pics of yourself if you havent already and maybe compare them to before pics, maybe you'll be able to notice that way. You see yourself in the mirror every single day, so that is hard to notice.
Thanks for thinking I"m a nice person, I really appreciate it.Although my husband may tell you otherwise..lmao
