Ok, so the really cool thing about this is the fact that I've tried not to obsess with my weight, just live life and make smart choices.
Ok, drum roll please ~ well, maybe not.....
Ok, so I'm at 182. Not thrilled. I havent been exercising like I should although I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. As I stated before, we had a pretty traumatic 2010 and one of the fallouts of that time is that I lost my walking buddy ~ scheduling conflicts and the like ~ so I've been trying to get my butt in gear but I'm not always successful. Of course with the heat and all it makes me that much more likely to find an excuse.
I don't find the numbers nearly as distressing as the size differential ~ I'm up a size ~ but again, this is a journey and I'm still much better off than I was before. Healthwise, BP, etc, I'm doing really well. Last night I went for a "walk" with my DD and we ended up going 5 miles most of which she was asking me to slow down!
On a positive note ~ some of the things I did not care for post weight loss ~ like how I looked!!! ~ are much better now. I have actually had people tell me I look like me now that the gaunt starvation look has left. My bones don't protrude like they did and I don't bruise nearly as often with a little meat on my bones. I also find that I like most of my curves ~ a new experience for me ~ and if only I could rid myself of my saddlebags I think I could handle everything else.
I think the biggest benefit of this journey has been learning to love me for who I am and not be focused on physical attributes ~ actually accepting myself, saddlebags and all.
Thank you all for sharing my journey~
