FullaBella's Journal, 24 November 2012

I decided my first quarter assessment deserved more celebration than the negative report I gave it last night ala 'starting over at square one '.

In this 90 days I have :

*Lost nearly 50lbs
*Dropped 4 sizes in jeans - actually wearing pants with a zipper & a number rather than 3X on an elastic waistband
*Can stand over an hour now without pain
*Have more energy and confidence
*Have NOT STARVED or USED pills to suppress appetite
*Only one binge / purge incident and that was the first week - managed to take Thanksgiving with the good and bad without resorting to past eating disorder behaviors
*Choose to walk more and park farther from stores when safe
*Can reach body parts easier as well as not feeling strangled by seatbelt
*Haven't suffered acid reflux at night once
*Am proud of myself
*Joined fat secret and met a lot of nice people and made some good friends
*Have enjoyed finding new and healthy and delicious foods to eat so I feel confident I CAN do this the rest of my life
*Have lowered my fasting blood sugar from 160 to 110 without medication
*Am not fearing lab work check up due next week
*Am looking forward to doc visit due next week as her reaction to my plan to lower blood sugar and cholesterol with diet instead of drugs was a look of skepticism (sp?)
*Have started taking stairs instead of elevator (up but not down yet - bad knee - maybe another 20lbs and I'll add the 'down ')
*Have started treating myself with more care and respect
*Have found a nice balance between 'live to eat 'vs 'eat to live'
*Am looking forward to today, tomorrow and next 90 days.
