This picture was taken at Richard and I's graduation party from the police academy. He proposed to me that night. One of the happiest days of my life!! This is my first goal, to be under 200 pounds. I want to be proud to have my husband spin me around the dance floor again.
This week has been amazing for me. The difference is the change in my thinking. I have overcome obstacles that I have never been able to before. I thru my food in the trash when I felt full. I made it past the 2-4 pm hunger everyday that has killed me in the past. I turned down breakfast burritos and pizza offered to me at work. I did not eat my favorite ice cream cone while everyone else ate it in front of me. I did not eat the chips and queso at the Mexican food restaurant. I worked out 5 days out of the last 6. I say all of this to say......I'm still alive. I can do this and I feel GREAT!!!
I had an appointment with a bariatric surgeon at the end of March. When I left there I felt so ashamed of myself. Ashamed I let it get this far. They told me I weighed 275 lbs. I hadn't gotten on the scale in a long time and tears just started rolling down my face. I would have swore to you I didn't weigh over 250. I weighed more than I did with all three pregnancies. At work on Wednesday night, I bit my lip and stepped on the scale. I am super excited to say I have lost 22 pounds since March!! I no longer qualify for bariatric surgery!! I will keep going!!
