Well Good Morning FS Warriors!
This weekend was a new experience for me!
Started to get dressed to goto Church Sunday morning and all my clothes fit like shit! Nothing was acceptable, even my shorts were too GINORMOUS!
I thought I cannot go out in public looking like this!!(actually, Angie said I was freaking out, yelling in the closet and throwing clothes out the door, I don't recall that exactly.....but....)
So off to the Thrift Store to do some sizing......
HOLY CRAPBALLS!!
I started this journey Christmas 2015...6'1, 350lbs, 48" waist, 6x shirts, sugar off the scale....
Today.....6'1, 260.9lbs,38" waist, 1-2X shirts, sugar around 110 daily.
I actually feel like I broke down in the fitting room, the tears started flowing and I felt like a bawling girl.....don't know why.....
I never thought that this issue with weight and BP and sugar levels were/are tied to "eating" patterns you've had your whole life!
How could you lose 10 inches in your waist just from eating right?
I haven't even "really" started working out yet. Just swimming couple days a week.
I don't even know when the last time I wore 38" waist....
Angie volunteers at several churches in the neighborhood and at one we visited this weekend, the Pastor walked up and said "Welcome, I am Pastor John........".
He didn't even recognize me, I teased him, "What do you think, Angie would bring her new boyfriend to the SAME Church?"
I am starting to tear up right now while typing....
It is sooo heart lifting to have this happen......
I love this life and now it loves me!
Have faith my brothers and sisters!
The Good Life awaits!!!
