My first goal - was to get to a weight that I could actually step on the scales in the doctor's office, and NOT have to say, "Sorry - they won't register me." And today, amazingly - I'm there! I feel great about crossing that goal off my list. I cannot possibly describe the shame in being too big for the scales - nor can I come close to conveying the absolute joy I will feel the next time I'm in his office...and I step up there pretty as you please. I DID IT!
I wore a dress and heels to church today - the first time in a long, long time. Everyone had a comment about how good I looked - but more importantly - I felt wonderful. My feet have not been swelling like they used to - so I was able to not only get the strappy sandals on, but wear them comfortably throughout the morning. Whoohoo!
A friend is going to help me take in some pants this afternoon. These are clothes that I have worn since I was at my biggest - 85 pounds ago. So naturally, the pants are falling off me, and there just isn't any money to replace them right now - and because I expect to continue to lose - I really don't want to spend money on something that, hopefully, will be too big shortly, anyway. So, we'll see what we can do.
Thanks to all my friends and family for being so encouraging...I LOVE YOU!
