I'm never on here. I know. I basically have no life anymore. This past week I worked 80 hours. WHo does that? Thats ridiculous. I'm exhausted. The whole month of May was rough I didn't lose any weight but I maintained. I'm back on it now. My ankle is not fully healed...I am not sure when it will ever be? It swells everyday, still extremely painful but I'm good I can walk, and I can walk in heels so yea. But yea I am getting back to my grove because I only have 40 days until I got to California. I'm really hoping to be 175 by then but eh I look great now to be honest. But I am still working hard again. I am sitting at 210 right now. I am 11 pounds away from being out of the 200's. I wil robably cry when I finally see a 1 instead of a 2. I never ever thought I could make it this far. I am actually the same weight and size I was 4 years ago when I graduated high school.
See the weird thing tho...I still feel 276. I feel huge. I noticed that my stomach...it'll need plastics for it too look the way I want it to. Along with my thighs and arms. I feel disgusting. If I go out with my friends like on the weekends to the bar or something I always wear spanx to smooth it all out because it looks gross. But also, my friends that I hang out with ALL the time they notice my weight loss they were telling me omg its amazing and its a DRAMATIC change. But the other part of our friends that I only see like 3 times a year...say nothing. Like I am still the same. Thats when I start thinking to myself...do I still look huge omg...and I just feel huge. I mean I am down 66 pounds.
But yea...I am on my way to onederland!
I know how hard it is when peeps say nothing! I finally got the f%ck over that myself.
I am not sure exactly why they don't say much, but it may be more their problem or they are that unconscious, so I need to go on my merry way and just be sure my head is in reality.
Trust me, you look awesome and there will be plateaus for all kinds of reasons...just hang tough like you are and don't gain!!!!!
I bet your arms/haning skin come a long way - give it time. And wtf, plastics are great now, so you will find the money to pay if/when the time comes.
You're doing so well... this is wonderful! I'm so happy to hear that your ankle is healing.... I'm the queen of sprained ankles and I certainly remember how painful they are and how long they take to heal.
I'll share your emotion with the onederland thing. I'm getting so close to it myself .. so close that I can almost taste it but I'm afraid it may have too many calories!! LOL
Yanno.. the people you hang out with all the time are so comfortable with you that talking about your weight loss is like talking about a new outfit. People you hardly see sometimes feel it is a private issue so they are disinclined to say anything at all. Either that or they're just JEALOUS BABY! LOL
God bless ya, sweetie!

Stranger!! 80 hrs holy cow!!! Good thing you don't have a family to attend too because I couldn't see myself working 80hrs and having a family too!! You are doing great..at least you havent gained..
And you look great!! Why people dont say anything? Who knows!! Jealousy maybe because you look fantastic!! You don't look like you are 211 lbs now. I am sure part of you will always feel big but look at your pictures..you aren't no 276!
I just went to Cali at the end of May..and I LOVED it!!! I would love to live there if i could afford it. So if nothing else have a wonderful time there because the weather its great and its beautiful there.. we were in San Diego..i miss it each and every day!!
