I'm Just Obese!!!!

I cannot believe that I am sharing this milestone with you, but I have been a little down lately and needed a boost, so who else to share it with, but the people that would understand it the best. YOU!!!!! I got some clothes out today, that my best friend gave me prior to my surger that I could not where and some of them are almost too big now. However, most if not all of them fit, even the size 18-20 pants and 1x and large shirts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I decided to put my BMI into the calculator and it said that I am just "Obese" no longer "Morbidly Obese", I do not know when the last time the word "Morbidly" was not attached to my BMI. I guess my next goal will be to be described as just being "Overweight" and then "NORMAL". Oh I can't wait!!!! Just had to share!!! Thanks for being there to go through this with me!!!! Shelia

Congratulations Sheila!! I'm so happy for you...you are doing so awesome for being so new...take care and keeping posting these milestones...they inspire others!

WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a milestone!! Are you still eating? How is the nausea? I do hope it is gone. FYI - according to my BMI, I am "overweight" but nobody believes it. People at work are constantly commenting on how "tiny" I am. It is funny how pleased I am to be "overweight"!! You are doing great!! You're gonna be in regular Misses sizes in no time. Susan

Yes, I am doing much better, still some nasuea, but eating about one meal a day. Tempting a little with milk products to see if I am still having trouble with that. Not sure yet!!! My next milestone will be to be in Onederland and hopefully I will hit that within the next week or two. I really would like to reach it on March 20th, I'll explain later if I reach it on that day!! Hope you are doing well!! Shelia

Shelia, Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!! sounds like you are doinging much better. I also can't wait to wait to see 199 my self been a longggggggg time. lol Sue W

Way to go Sheila. I am so happy for you girl! It is very inspiring to hear how well you are doing. Hopefully all that nausea is behind you now.

Yes its true... that is a fantastic milestone! Congratulations!! Did you ever think you would be happy because someone called you obese? I would rather be obese than MORBIDLY obese!!

Go Shelia!!! That is awesome girl!! I am working towards that goal myself. Let's do a happy dance!!!

Shelia, Who would ever think being obese would be a good thing. I am so happy for you and can't weight to be there with ya. Darlene

Girl congrats! I am right there with ya. I had my surgery 3 days after yours and am only 7 lbs away from onederland. I can not wait. I am afraid now that I am actually getting an appetite that the weight won't come off as easily. My dr on thursday adviced me to try diet ginger ale for the nausea. He said fill a cup with ice and then put the ginger ale in and let it sit for about 15 min so the carbonation is watered down. Let me tell you this did wonders for my appetite. No more nausea! So maybe this will help. Just wanted to tell you congratulations and good luck reaching that goal. Nicole
