Should I try to lose MORE?
Lately, I have been wondering if I should try to lose more weight. I have lost 163 pounds since 3/24/05 and weigh 150. I have been maintaining between 150-155. This is probably pre PMS blues that has my self image feeling crappy. The majority of the time I feel like I have done great. I am below where Dr Shina wanted me, I will be having a tummy tuck sometime in July or August. I just worry about my hips and legs. I am exercising every day now. I hadn't been while losing the weight cause it slowed my weight loss but now I am. I do 40mins a day, 2 miles on my gazelle. I have discovered that my knees aren't made for running. After being overweight all my life I guess my knees just aren't made for that cause they hurt so bad when I run, but I can do the gazelle and really fly on it with out any problems. I feel so much better, I have so much more energy. I look 100% better too lol but thats not a major thing compared to how much better my health is. Dr Shina told me in November when I saw him that if I wanted to go down to 141 I could. I just feel like I am happy here at 150. The other day someone made a comment about my weight, yes, I know, I shouldn't let that bother me. I was feeling so great until then lol. Bad me! I have done great! I have succeeded with the help of this surgery! Ok, I will make myself write that so many times and maybe I will feel better, lol. What do u all think? Your my weight loss family...What are your thoughts??? Honestly and truly, I am HAPPY where I am. Must be having those dang pms issues....grrrr! Oh well. What do u think, KY???
