Weight Loss as of 11/2/2006
Nov 04, 2006
I'm down to 218.5 pounds. It feels good but sometimes I feel like a big person stuck in a smaller body. I can't deal with how people talk about big people when they have no clue what it's like. I'm wearing a 14/16 Lane Bryant size.
My Journey...
8/6/2006 I got rid of all my cloths 22 & above today!
8/10/06 Well, I still can’t believe that I’ve come this far. I weighed in at 245, which is higher than last week but thank g-d for making me a woman and giving me hormones because I believe it’s the onset of my period that made me gained 5 pounds over night. Last night I weighed myself and was at 239.5. It’s all good. This past Sunday I did something major; I went thru my closet and got rid of all my cloths that were above a size 20. Now I felt great that I would never need those cloths again being that I would never get back to that size but my problem is what I’m left with. I now have a few shirts and a bunch of skirts instead of having a full closet. I also look at the clothing that I have left in 18/20’s and it’s pulling me back a few years to not such a good place. I noticed that most of the shirts I have at black, why? Because that last time I wore this size I wasn’t so uppity, I was depressed and now only seeing these clothing and colorings is depressing me. I have to go and get a few shirts to brighten up my wardrobe and hope that will brighten me up! Monday night I ended up in the hospital (WARNING: This gets graphic for a second.) I went to the bathroom and had blood in my stool, I was freaked out. I called the surgical resident on duty who told me to come into the hospital to be checked out. I got to the hospital at 9pm and left at 4:30am. In the end I was fine but being back there was horrible. Today was a crazy day at work, next week is vacation and I have to get a lot done not only for work but for my own vacation. I hope to finish tomorrow&hellip
