Update - wow...waited a long time

Take time to discover who you are and be your own person. --Paula Bachleda Koskey


Sorry that is has been so long since I updated the blog. The last few weeks have been a holiday whirlwind, and this weekend looks to be another one.

My big news is that I hit the 100 pounds lost mark last week! As of yesterday morning, I have lost 102.5 pounds. I have stopped getting on the scale everyday. I check a couple of times a week now. And I am really learning some "go to" meals and protein sources. Most days I feel pretty good. Every now and then I eat something wrong or too quickly and get a tummy ache, but most of the time, I feel content and healthy. Before my surgery, I wore a size 30/32 shirt. I am now buying 18/20s. Quite a significant change. When I get my clothes out of the laundry and hold them up, they no longer look like giant fabric tents, but clothes. I still have to get my mind to catch up to my body. And I still have a long way to go. I want to lost almost another 100 pounds and reach a size 8. Before everyone starts to fuss at me, the doctor says that is a reaosnable and healthy goal. I won't get too skinny. Don't worry!

Anyway, in other areas, my court date for my divorce is 1/16. I will be officially single then. I have to admit that I had joined match.com and chemistry.com, but I now realize that it was wayyyyyy too soon. I have cancelled those subscriptions even at a financial loss. But I am proud of myself for cancelling them because it feels like the smart decision to wait to date. However, on 1/17, I will be single and if you know someone... ;-) Just kidding!
