I made it to Onederland (Pics inside)
(This is my recent blog post)
Well this morning I made it to ONEderland. I hopped on the scale and I finally saw a #1 on the scale. 197 baby! I can't tell you the last time I weighed that I know for sure it was over 13 years ago but past that I do not know.
As I've said before my goal is a range and not so much a number. I don't have a number in mind where I want to be and stay. It's way more about how I feel and how my clothes fit and how I look. If my body decided to stay right where it is I would thank my Good Lord for being so lucky. So hopefully my range of 145-175/185ish is a good range for me.
Here are some of the wows little and big that I have experienced in the last five months.
- One of the first things I noticed is my smile, it got bigger - literally. Since my cheeks got smaller I have a much bigger smile and I like it. It felt different too, it felt like I had 10 more teeth - LOL! I like my new smile!
- Putting on my shoes - much easier
- seat belt isn't extended
- I can sit with my legs crossed, I can sit with my knees up, I can get my body into all sorts of contortions that I never thought I would be able to and when I used to see thin people sitting with their knees up I was like why would you do that - it's so uncomfortable!
- I fit in my cowboy boots again
- I am wearing a size XL shirt and 12 jeans and a L belt
- I can't find underwear that fit right - all mine are terrible! :)
- I can now shop anywhere I want
- I love that my dimples are coming back
- I have a shape and it's not round!
- I can exercise with out it hurting.
- My feet, back, legs, hips don't hurt any more
- I am no longer using my sleep machine
- My legs look fanominal!
- I can shave with ease - it was such a chore before to shave now it's quick and easy
- my shoulders and collar bones are awesome
- I sleep so much better
- I like myself in the mirror
- I have not lost any hair and my nails and skin are good!
- my eyes are so much brighter because they are not being squished.
- My fingers are skinny and look awesome!
- My toes are even skinny and I have really cute feet
- I just plain ass feel great and I feel beautiful and attractive - I don't remember the last time I felt like this.
- Hugging people - I can get much closer now and it feels good to have their arms wrap all the way around me
- Jeans are actually comfortable for the first time in MY LIFE!
- I don't feel like an outcast at events
- My face shape is no longer round - I actually have a square face and I LOVE IT!
These are some little/large things just to name a few! I am so grateful for this opportunity and the one of my goals which is a very emotional proud goal of mine was for my parents to see me HEALTHY and HAPPY w/ my body. - I HAVE REACHED THIS GOAL! I was worried at one point that I would never be able to give them this gift, give myself this gift. And as the saying goes it is better to give than to receive!
The last pic was taken on August 28th, 2009, at a bachelorette party. I am the Maid of Honor in the wedding coming Oct. 3rd. I am actually looking forward to wearing that bridesmaid dress!That morning I weighed 200lbs. Down 91 pounds from the start of my liquid diet March 9th, 2009.
Love to you all for all your support, encouragement and wisdom! This is the first time I put photos up of a full body picture. I am no longer ashamed!
Love,
Sal
