Checking in here again! Amazingly the weight is OFF! It took two years but it is off and I still can't appreciate it fullyI am tempted to lose a few more to round it to an even 100 but think I should resist that. I am still round but good enough.
When I first started recording my foods, I did it at a site called dailyplate and attended ww for a time. Anyway - I was looking back over at the info questions from when I started and there is a section where you write down golas. One thing I wrote is that I wanted to play with my grandchildren. It occured to me that now I have!! This week was my birthday and we went to a local shopping area that has a nice grassy fountain area and it amazed me that I was able to play. I swung my granddaughters around the way I used to like when I was little. Then, my oldest son put me up on his shoulders!!I don't think I have been up on shoulders since I was a little girl - maybe never I am not sure. Anyway, it was nice
In fact I think my daughter-in-love took a pic of that will have to ask her.
There are benefits to losing that I will hopefully still see. I have always struggled with weight and hidden from pictures and behind big clothes. I still like my big clothes and tend to hide from pictures - but I know I really don't have to
Healthwise, I had hoped to keep my cholesterol under control better because I am kidney patient with moderate to higher CRF (related to childhood stuff) and some kidney stones last fall, but able to put off needing cholesterol medication for now. Still on blood pressure meds, increase dose in fact but that is also kidney related though hopefully the nutrition helps with that too. But I feel pretty good most of the time! It disappoints me that the weightloss has not improved those numbers - but then I have to wonder what would the numbers be if I did not try to get them better?
How is the weight control doing with some of you out there? I know that there are lots of us who have to work at it, fail and then get up and try again. I love reading both positive and struggle stories and so thankful I have a few of my own now. Please share will you? I still write everything down because I know I will probably always have to observe what I eat. Oh and I had CAKE this week - my very favorite bakery BIRTHDAY cake!! A big piece with extra icing too
ok found a few pics hope you enjoy - Tyler sure did I think!
