Guest guest Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 We all make goals when we begin this journey. . .some realistic . . some not. It's an amazing thing. Well, I've met a couple of goals over the past couple of days and I had to share with you all! When I started at 552 . . .I thought that if I only got back to 350 I would be happy. That was how much I weighed in HS . .and that would be just fine. I got to 350 . . and was happy . . but not for long! I had a hernia -- repair -- Tummy Tuck -- and I was all of a sudden down to 330. Well -- Dare I dream? My ultimate goal for myself is 220 . . but never did I dream I could make it. So I said 250 (well 249, someone else took 250 . . lol). I got below 300 and was ecstatic! My life really changed . . BIG TIME. And my weight loss kind of slowed. After all - -its to be expected a year or so out like I was. So I said -- ok - 252 - that will be a 300lb loss and I would be happy with that. I plateaued at right about 260 . .and started again -- going down the scale. . .slowly but surely. This Tuesday I was at 255. So close - yet so far! On Wednesday evening I went to Stillwater, OK to help with the Special Olympic games. Walked all over the OSU campus. I was tired. Then Thursday I was running after softballs, running after kids, running, bending, standing, jumping, I was tired! This morning, well I did all that over again. And yes I am tired. You know how some people can sniff out chocolate is even when its not visible? That is how I am with scales. I am obsessed. So I found the Dr. Scales at OSU . .and 'bout died. I was at 249! But that wasn't my scale, so I didn't read to much into it. After all - -all that excersise can't possible work off 6lbs in 3 days? Well I got home -- stripped (I always weigh . .umm . .you get the idea) and I weighed. 248! 248! -- I can't believe it. I guess all the excersise and eating only when allowed . . (3 times a day - -and all very healthy and just drinking water). So -- am I happy . .of course. But hey I can be happier -- since I am now on this side of 250 -- in the 240's -- why not push the envelope . .220! HERE I COME! Incedently -- when I make 220 . . the next goal is the Dr's goal of 180 . . Woo Weee . .and I know Plastic Surgery will help along the way. Sorry for the book - I was just happy. wanted to share!
