Day 14 and 27 pounds down. It's very amazing and I will say it's been hard. I've felt sick and not to my normal self. Every single day it gets better and YAY on the weight loss. I'm a happy girl and today is a milestone.

Well, it is 10 days since my last "blog". I've lost 3 more lbs. I am having to struggle with the no lunch workday. It is a 10 hour day. So far I've managed to get in food and liquids. I'm still with energy, which I'm glad, because otherwise I'd be dead...my husband thinks I need to take a lunch, but I be crap if I have to stay there longer and work through my lunch hour!

Wouldn't be able to do this pace if I hadn't taken off 70 lbs. So, it is a blessing I have lost...

Well out 6 weeks and still can't really eat well. I can not eat too much and not what I should be able to eat this far out.

Occassionally, I have felt bored and thought about comfort food. Nothing too overwhelming, however, I have used food to comfort within the boundaries of what does not make me ill. Obviously, this is a life battle. Sometimes I laugh at my ingenuity to get my "fix"....

I'm 16 wks out and on my scales, 196! That is a whopping 68 lbs from my highest weight in September 2010. I'm in size 14s, which is down from a 22. My blood sugars are normal, and finally (thank you Lord) I have energy.

I am to start week 2 of my new job. I survived last week. I have some learning to do on the new system, but all in all, I think I managed to do OK by the end of the week.

Unrelated to weight loss, I got out the sewing machine my husband bought me...
