Nut visit today and lets do a Smile mile list
I went to see the nutritionist today. I am at 198 and have lost 105 lbs, not counting my highest weight before surgery. If I count that I have lost 134lbs. The weight loss has slowed to about 4 lbs a month. I need to exercise more but my knee is messed up right now. In my tops , I could wear a 16 or XL but because of the hernia I have to wear 20 pants (withband...18 if elastic waiste) and 1xl tops. I also try to buy them long to hide the hernia. I want to loose 50lbs but doubt it will happen. I can not visualise that. I am happy at this size if it is the end, but I do think I will loose some more. I use to wear 4 and 5 x clothing and 32 or 34 pants soooooo I am happy with how it all has gone. I have not had any complication in the last 10 months and have dumped only once on sugar(not my fault). I do get the foamies every now and then from not chewing good enough or eating left over Japanese or chinese food. I do NOT miss any foods (maybe just pecan pie).
Sorry about long read but there is more......
What has happened to make me smile?
1. Sitting in boothes instead of requesting a tables at resturants.
2. Being able to find clothes at most stores. I still think Romans and LB have some pretty stuff)
3. Buying on sale things at most stores.
4. Fitting behind the wheel of my husbands truck and both of my daughters cars.
5.Walking fast and not loosing my breath.
6. Most people don't stare at or through me in public places.
7. Men are more curteous and hold doors and smile and speak, actually women are nicer also. (That is sad and it makes me a little angry)
8. I can sit in the bleachers in my stadium chair and actually fit in it with room to spare.
9. Tie my shoes
10. Wear a belt to hold up my too loose pants.
11. Seat belts fit me in all cars, and I have not been on a plane since wls but I feel sure I will fit and not need an extender.
12 If I drop something on the floor .....I GLADLY stoop over and pick it up.
13. After the hernia is fixed, I WILL RIDE MY HORSE!
14. My DH and 2 daughters and sister are proud of me.
15. I do not have to sit down to case the mail at my job with the Post Office.
OK guys and girls Help me think of more reasons to smile ...I know I have missed some. Tell me yours and let's finish the list.
Newbys look and learn and list some of your wants that will make you smile. You will get them soon,
Thanks

The things that make me smile
To be able to walk my dogs
To be able to walk at the zoo
To step on and off curbs without having to hold onto something or someone (I still think about it when I come to curbs)
To feel proud of myself
can clean my house within a few hours
can do all the laundry in a few hours washed,folded and put up
like what I see in the mirror
Be able to hook my mom up in her wheelchair in her van
The best one is to feel happier than I have ever felt.

Myrits, You have done so fabulously with your weight loss and it is amazing to read through your list of things that make you smile! Can't wait to be on the other side adding to that list myself! I know how frustrating it is not being able to exercise like you'd like due to the knee issue. Hang in there and do what you can until it is cleared up. I have a feeling you will continue to drop the weight awhile longer!
