Another week down, a few pounds down, several inches gone! I have fallen in love with green tea and only think about Dr. Pepper when I see it. I still eat chocolate a couple of times week. However it is not the amount of candy I use to eat or as often. Sometimes I just need a little sweet. I can cross my knees, my ankles, my legs and wear my grandmas wedding band. I can wear my black jeans I purchased the last time I lost weight. I can reach to shave all of my legs. I can use the small stalls in the bathrooms. My hips have lost 9 or 10 inches, I can't say for sure since they were larger than the measuring tape. My waist is about to move down to the next 10's place. Most of pants are sliding down, down, to my ankles. And the awesome part is: I am still loosing weight. In two more weeks I should have lost more than I did the last time I lost weight. By Christmas I should be the size I was when I got PG with my baby seven years ago. By my anniversary I will be able to wear my wedding dress again. My neck is almost four inches smaller. I have lost the weight of my youngest child. I have very little excess skin. This is a really good thing since any skin removal surgery could have serious scar issues for me, so I don't know that I would ever go through with it. My back does not hurt anymore. My neck is healing and only hurts about once a week. I hope to soon be able to start riding my bike. Eight more pounds until I buy my boots. I bought a new dress before surgery. I bought it to small, it now fits pretty well. It is a size 22. I was wearing a size 30-32. I often get compliments about how nice I look. I DO NOT ever want another McDonald's hamburger. (Just chicken nuggets)
Downside: I do have access skin on my arms and chest. My arms are not getting smaller like I want them to. Most of it is muscle and does not squeeze into dress coats or heavy coats. I have a huge medical to pay. I have more medical bills coming in. My insurance did not pay what they said they would. The claimed that the Dr. didn't file the paperwork correctly. Please pray for our finances. I hate to file a chapter 13. I want to by my family a home within the next year. I have been sick the past week after getting chicken stuck and having to spit it back up. That grossed me out and I vomited. The vomiting is what causing the problems. My calves are to muscular for the boots I want. Yes, it is 17 inches of calf muscle. Well built for carrying the extra two adults around all the time. Milk products seem to give me the runs and cramps. This possibly started before the surgery. I had went to see a gastroligists in January and he didn't have any answers for me as to why I had the runs so often. He thought I was taking in to much fiber.
Whew, this was a long one! Have a great week and thanks for taking the time to read!
