2 months today!

Well, I made it to 2 months without incident! Or should I say major incidents. Most importantly, I have lost 75lbs as of yesterday! Yay!! This is really not an easy thing, as I have said before. Everyday is filled with choices.. for example, ysterday, we had a cook out at my Grams and I had a tiny bit of BBQ chicken (no skin), 2 green beans and a piece of cheese. It didn't all stay in my tummy, but the point is that each day I have to make good food choices.. sometimes called sacrifices, and I am proud of the choices I do make. I am proud of how much my body has changed!! There is a quote from my support group that is "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!" Boy do I believe it! I am posting my 2 month pic for you to celebrate with me. I am so thankful for the support I have been getting, and support and encouragement from people that I didn't even think cared!! Today I celebrated my new life and all the wonderful things that are happening in it. Why not celebrate yours?

Day 52.. sick with a cold, but high on life

Well, here it is, installment #2 of the blog of my new life. Not a whole lot to mention, but I didn't want all of you to think that I had forgotten about you.
The biggest accomplishment is that I hit 70lb of weight lost this week. Yeah! I am so happy, but, my body hasn't caught up too much because I am still wearing my same clothes.. ok, maybe not ALL the same clothes, I now wear a 2x top. The pants are getting looser and looser each day and this week I had to start wearing a belt.. I don't remember the last time that happened!
SO, I cleaned out my closet on Monday, Ok, I admit that I have a problem or better yet is it an addiction? I love my clothes. Fat clothes or not, I am sincerely attached to some of them... BUT I sucked it up and went thru both closets (yes, I have 2 closets of clothes) and seperated out all the BIG stuff.. I tried EVERYTHING on, Steve gave his input on how stuff fit and I made a couple of piles (sell or give away) I even put things in the give away things that were a little big... AND IT FELT GOOD!!
And then I realized something: As much as I loved the clothes, I didn't love the person I was when I was that size. And even though I am just beginning the journey, I realize they are JUST CLOTHES... they don't define who I am NOW...

Talk about a defining moment for ME! A mental victory today!

See, I used to be attached to my clothes.. they used to define me, but I am not that person anymore, so it's time to be rid of the old and start looking for the new me.
