Down 40 lbs exactly now! Yaaay. So proud of myself, whether its 2 lbs a week or 2 lbs a month, slowly but surely I am changing myself. Makes me sad now when I see overweight pple depressed, lying to everyone and themselves to say they are happy and this is just the way they are. There is something out there that will work for you, it's just a matter of finding it. No one is happy at 5'5" and 260 lbs, regardless of what they say. It is not a good feeling to puff and wheeze when trying to climb stairs, to not feel comfortable in a bathing suit, not be able to run around the playground with your child and to have to go to speciality stores and pay an arm and a leg just to buy a pair of jeans.
I embrace my curves, I do. I have no desire to be skinny. I will never be a sz 2. But I want to look good, turn heads and most importantly be HEALTHY and feel HEALTHY! I will gladly tell my Dr that I am taking grand measures to keep my body diabetes free the next time he drills it into my head that my mother died of it. I know... I just needed to hit rock bottom before I was able to make a change. So here I stand 40 lbs healthier, happier and of course smaller! I am well on my way to 160 lbs and even more excited about my journey there. I never thought I would do it. But today I am FINALLY back down to pre-pregnancy weight. Cannot wait to wave these 200's goodbye!!
