Look Tuna's only 1 pound from GOAL!
Thanks, all. I was at goal for five glorious minutes on Feb 8. Then . . . a 4 pound gain! How is that even possible? Anyway, I'm trying to get it off again. My scale varies about 5 lb from the docs (so I might ot go directly into a maintenance phase), and I do have some belly fat left to lose. Ass and boobies are long gone!
Wow moment today: I have been buying clothes as needed from Savers but nothing brand new. Went to K Mart for a prescription tonight and just happened to see a clearance rack with jeans. I bought a flippin' size 6!!! That's a smaller size than when I was in my 20s and 30s and weighed less. I believe the bones are heavier, and that having no butt makes a huge difference.
I was reading last night about body dysmorphia (sp) and realized that in my head I was never as big as others saw me. Guess I was convinced that pictures added about 50 to 60 pounds! I see pics now and think the camera is dropping 50 pounds. The moral here is that it really does take a long time for our brains to catch up with our bods. My journey is easier as a lightweight with comorbids, but my health is soooo much better. I wish that same good fortune to each and every one of you!
