What a difference 40 pounds makes

Weight Loss

I've been down this weight loss road more times than I care to mention. But at the end of June it was, as they say "shit or get off the pot". I decided to get off the pot.

I've lost 40 pounds. I was a fat fat girl. And, believe me, I'm still not a "skinny" girl. I didn't feel good about myself, I didn't dress in high fashion at all. I have not worn or even purchased a pair of jeans in 10+ years. I certainly did not purchase or wear any heels. My idea of heels was a 1 1/2" high heel the size of a pirates wooden leg. Not high fashion. No, no, no.

Today, I'm off the blood pressure medication. I'm wearing a new pair of jeans. I'm wearing real heels. I am getting compliments on how I look. Many. I've had to buy new clothes including new underwear, pants, shirts, bras, you name it. I know, TMI...but I am thrilled about it. Sadly, I don't have a bathing suit that fits me and I can't buy one for a few months because bathing suits are seasonal...even in the south. But still, so cool. I don't drink beer, I don't drink soda, I don't eat fast foods.

Being healthy, losing weight, is NOT easy, but the results make you feel so awesome. I'm happy to speak with you, e-mail you, etc about what I've done to make this happen. But, if you never contact me, that's fine too....I didn't do this for you, or for my family, or for my employer. I did this for me and I (ba, dah, ba, ba), I'm loving it.
