Weight loss 53#
This week I am eating a little easier. I can actually eat meat now, which feels really good. Something to chew. It's hard to describe the feeling of trying to eat something, chewing, and it just doesn't feel right. Well now it's feeling right. Almost normal.
Get to stop taking another pill today. It's the little things I'm telling ya.
Having the swelling gone has made all the difference in the world. Walking over to grama's house seems so easy now. A few months ago I could not do it. I can breathe again! No shortness of breath. I can ride 2 hours in the car without swelling up and being miserable. I can drive without pain. It's a life changer.
Have a gigantic tub ready for Goodwill. Probably 3 large garbage bags full with more to follow! Now that's fun. I wore a shirt one day and the next day it was too big. Kinda crazy. Wearing some jeans I haven't seen in years. Nightgowns are all falling off me.
Bob is going to bring up the Rubbermaids of old clothes from the basement. These date back to the 1980s, some 1970s, so if you see me rocking some weird look that'll be why. I think I threw away my legwarmers that go with my leotard though. Dang.
Feeling pretty good overall. Getting there.

I am so proud of you and cannot wait to see you....could you post some photos along the way so that we can appreciate what you are accomplishing?
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about saving some of those favorite "fat" clothes for a quilt?
Wow I never thought of that! The good thing is all of my old clothes are well worn. It would be soft and comfy. LOL But I have to keep one set to carry with me to meetings and show my "before" size. I am going to go through my Goodwill clothes with an eye for a quilt before giving them away. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd pictures are coming. I just don't feel comfortable yet. I know I need to, it's just that I spent a lifetime avoiding getting my picture taken. If someone posted one on FB I'd go after them and erase it. LOL Hard habit to break!
