Negative aspects of losing weight....

I'm finding these weird, hard things beginning to stick out of my body. I'm told they are BONES and that they're perfectly normal, but I've never seen anything like them before, and I'm wondering where they came from. I'm having to purchase a whole new wardrobe from my favorite boutique, G/W, but fortunately everything is MOST affordable there (most people call this boutique "Goodwill"). I have so much more energy that I don't sleep nearly as much as I used to, so my house is getting cleaned and organized, and I'm finding the will to toss a lot of stuff I've held on to -- I wonder, just how much money DID I spend on diet books over the years???? And then there's the fact that people are complimenting me -- like one of the cashiers at Krogers, who told me I'm looking really good and asked how I'm losing weight -- so people are actually seeing ME now instead of some random really big person. I now park as far away from work as possible in order to get more exercise (I can walk the whole way quickly without stopping to rest!) but I now have to buy sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat to save my skin, since I'm no longer protected by the parking garage. We're saving money on food, too; when we eat out, I get a child's plate, and still have half the food left over for a later meal. I'm also off medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, which means we're saving more money there. I have to say, though, that I'm more than willing to make these sacrifices in order to continue losing weight. Y'all have a wonderful day! Lisa

Good Morning Lisa, I couldn't have said it better. Way to go girl! You have a wonderful day! Melony

So glad you are doing well!!! Jodie

Thanks for sharing this. I am so happy that you are doing so well. I was just here wondering if after surgery my house would be cleaner. I get so tired now and hate cleaning my house. I would rather sleep. I honestly could spend my entire day sleeping. I go back to school next week (I'm a teacher) and I don't know how I am going to adjust. I have been sleeping late every morning and getting naps. I will adjust since I have been doing this for 6 years now. LOL!!! I look forward to the day that my summers are for more than sleeping. Congrats and keep up the great work. Rachel
