Curious Question

[Guest guest]

I'm 195 and 5'6 and have a fairly large frame and am wearing size 14

jeans. Dress pants size 12, size M-L tops, depending on the cut and

dresses 12. Nobody believes me when I say I weigh 195 either. My hip

bones stick out, my collar bones stick out. When I say I want to lose

another 15-20 my friends just gasp. Never thought I'd hear that sound

coming out from anybody with the comments that you've lost more than

enough, etc., etc. I've lost 183 lbs. and am as happy as a clam. If I

see some weight creeping up on me, now I have the presence of mind to

nip it in the bud, rather than going out and buying bigger clothes like

I used to. Should I exercise more? Absolutely. Should I drink more

protein shakes? Definitely. Right now I'm in lazy mode where it comes to

these two things. I take all my supplements and eat pretty well 90% of

the time. Find using the excuses that I'm too busy with school,

business, kids, after school activities, house work, etc. are creeping

back into my vocabulary and everyday life. Starting to sound like I did

183 pounds ago. If I can find the time to be a Brownie leader and

student, then I can certainly try to find time to exercise for at least

30 minutes a day and to take 5 minutes and make a shake. Will get there

eventually.

Right now have found the time to get medical clearance for my procedure

tomorrow on my nose. CAT scan results showed " multiple displaced

fractures of the nasal bones " , a deviated septum and two other things

that escape my mind right now. Going in for a closed reduction tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a happy and safe Halloween today. Weather here is

rainy and cold. I feel sorry for the kids. We'll have fun anyway.

Best regards,

Regina
