hello hello hello!!
I want to thank all of you for your words of encouragement and positivity!! You have absolutely no idea how much it means to me!!! It really helps me keep moving and helps me realize that i need to not worry so much about what others think!!!
KDM: thank you!!
I completely agree they are low-lifes, i have no idea why my friends and I associate with these people, my friends are very encouraging, just cuz they know losing weight will make me happy and they want me to be happy, but unfortunately guys aren't really the same way, they have a one track thought process!! haha let me know how the 30 day shred goes, i've been looking to spice up my workout routine too!!
susieyarb: haha i know it was terrible!! I was really upset but it did help to think that I wasn't going to be able to fit into them anyways! (I hope!) haha that's hilarous about the Traveling Shrinking Pants!! I love that idea!! I would definitely take them, but i'm sure somebody is going to hit a size 16 before me, maybe i'll get it after them?
i just need to realize too that i will be lovely the way i look even if I haven't reached my goal or not, it'll be a new me that I haven't seen since like the 9th grade!! oh and I would love that recipe!!!! it sounds sooooo yummy!!!!
lori: thank you for your encouragement and the advice on the clothing!! leggings are a really good idea and I didn't even thnk of that and the dresses!! that's a definite way to be able to use them for a while and i don't think leggings are that expensive! thanks for the tip!! i hope you find out soon whether it is just anxiety or actually asthma/emphesema (spelling?), I have anxiety and I know what it is like to feel like you can't breathe, it's terrifying. I thought I had asthma for a while too, just anxiety...still terrible!
oh and btw you are looking amazing in your pictures!!!
oh and as far as the ocd goes: i have not been officially "diagnosed" with it, but being a psychology major, I know I have that mild obsessive compulsive disorder and severe hypochondria. Kind of embarrassing but I was at a point in my life a while ago where I was checking my temp and vital signs every single day. Thought I was dying, but I wasn't. it's so much better knowing that it's all in your head and you don't have to worry anymore!!
nightangel: congrats on those 16s even if you have to squeeze into them!!!!!! it counts!!!
jigglefree: it really helps knowing that other people can relate to me, it makes it seem not as difficult! and you are right, they are just shallow and not worth my time!! haha thank you for that!
Congrats on running that mile!!! I can only dream of doing that at this point!
jdonato: good luck on your final!! i have 4 and a few papers that i can look forward to in the next few weeks!
shylah: congrats on your new low!!! I have been having a few up and down weeks too, i'm just hoping I end this challenge with a loss, I know i'm not giong to make my goal, but a loss is a loss!!
Northern: 40 pounds in 4 months!! nice work!!!!!!
fruit: don't be discouraged, just get back right on track!!
julesp: well good thing you are done with your terrible cold!! i am fortunate enough where i barely get sick and when i do it's for like 3 or 4 days, tops. can't complain. I know how it can throw your entire routine off tho, so congrats on getting back on track!!
aluxa: haha so true so true!! congrats on being almost to goal!!!
Well today i had a great day so far! I got up early this morning and went walking around the lake! I walked the entire lake which is about 4 miles around and it took me about an hour. Not the fastest pace, but i'm still happy I was walking for an hour straight. I have been OP as far as calories AND water!! I feel like this is the best day I've had in a while!! I'm feeling unstoppable!!!! I know I won't make my goal, i've had too many slum weeks/bad days in the last month to even consider making it, but I'm just going to try for any loss at this point and to get my diet and exercise routine back in order, I will be happy with myself if i can come out on top with that. well off to class! have a good day!
for your 30 days without “pop”. My husband is planning to change our tile floor on the kitchen, family room, powder room, and laundry. He says that he will do it on June because I will be traveling and I get crazy with all that construction around.
with your new medications!
Susie!!!! I'm so proud of you. I knew you could do it. You are such an encouragement to me. I'm feeling better about where I am. I tried on all the clothes that I have in my size in the closet and they all fit. I was excited. My husband told me I only have on stomach now.
