I AM OVERWEIGHT!!!

 

Which may seem like a strange post, but for someone who over 3 years ago was considered Super Morbidly Obese (which sounds like a Marvel Superhero) I am proud to declare I am now OVERWEIGHT!!!

 

I weighed myself today, and I am down to 228. OMFG!! I think the last time I seen that was .. hmmmm .. birth ?!?!?!?

 

To think that I started at 435 pounds, and now I am 8 pounds away my self-imposed goal of 220 is mind-boggling. Also thinking that all last year I “knew what I was doing" was actually doing a disservice to me. This January I decided to become refocused, get back to basics, up my exercise, and try to make 220 by the end of the year. I have a feeling I may do it – with God’s help (of course).

 

I need to thank EVERYONE who has been with me on this journey, and has given me love, support, advice and that greatly needed swift kick in my (_______x_______). I know I couldn’t have done it without you all!!

Tom,

Congradulations on those 8 lbs.!!!! 8 lbs is 8 lbs. I know that I'm new on the losers bench. I know that it feels great that each time that I step on the scale and see a lose that is a postive and keeps the drive going. This was the way I was feeling pre-op and losing and now I'm getting my daily walking in to get myself going again.

To have a starting point that you had started at and you are now down to 228 that is wonderful!!! Every now and then we do need a swift kick to get us going again and thankfully that we have a wonderful support here with everyone and with God standing beside us guiding us. This is why we are all here is to support each other and give a helping hand or foot when needed, I know you have been there supporting me during the pre-op and during the post -op and I notice how you support alot of others. So I would like to say Thanks!! and I just want to let you know that I'm here to support you!!

So cool! I can't wait to say I'm overweight.

Tom that is WONDERFUL!! I am so happy for you. I know just the change in the vocabulary used to describe oneself can be a very good motivator and mood booster! So no, Tom , to declare yourself overweight is not strange, it is great! I am proud of you! I am sure we all are. I appreciate all the answers you give on here, not just to MY questions but to so many of us. I am happy to celebrate this milestone with you!!

Congratulations Tom,

I was just at my surgeons and he declared me officially overweight from morbid obese that is a wonderful declaration. Some look at me funny when I say it but then they think about it and they get what an important step it is. I am so very happy for you.

Enjoy it.
