No i don't mind, LOL, anyone with internet can see them, doesn't bother me anymore, if someone wants to laugh at me let them, pretty much how i have trained myself to think after being 400 lbs.
Dreamer : Thanks.
ennay : I am hoping things tighten up a little more, would be nice, i am going to join a gym shortly, will be better for the frozen months ahead i think, hopefully if i tone my muscles some more it will helkp even out.
Chickadee : I'm glad you enjoyed your trip and i'm willing to bet your weight will drop a couple of pounds over the next couple of days, leaving home and travelling is stressful even if you did have a good time. As you relax back into your familiar routine i'm nearly certain of it.
Budgetbaby : A ton more energy doesn't even begin to aptly describe the difference, i don't even feel like the same person at times, i'm not kidding, i actually feel more like i am 20 - 25 again physically.
Riestrella : Ummm.... At 400 lbs i would not have even dreamt of such a thing, you don't envision something that seems utterly impossible, the only way i could progress was by taking each day on as a challenge unto itself, i envisioned a great mountain in front of me and each day was one more step i took in my long climb, i've said it before but creating a vision inside your mind can be helpful, at least to me, something intangible that can't be seen is hard to imagine or work towards especially if you have self doubt, i knew in my heart i could surely beat just one day, so as each day passed i would forget about the previous and just focus on once again the here and now of just one more day, one more time.
Cheshirecat : Thanks Cheshire,
Your shirt looks so cool, almost makes me want to become a runner just to get cool stuff like that, something that has to be earned through struggle is always more treasured, congrats on your run.
peanutt : Thanks for the tip on fish oil, i will have to look into it, i remember my mom used to give us cod liver oil pills when i was little. LOL Funny your post brought up such an old memory.
I'm sure you will excel come race day, you have bested every challenge since you set out on your journey, self doubt can be a powerful foe but you won't let that interfere with what you want.
Jeanettey : Thats not too personal, i'm the one who brought up loose skin, it's a fact alone, how could someone stretch there skin that far and not expect to cause harm ? There is no better way of finding solutions than pooling knowledge. I have considered what my weight might be if the skin was removed, it's hard to gauge just what it might weigh, i still think i can do a little better so that is what i will do, period, after i get to 180 or so i will have to decide if i can live with it or not, it's not debilitating just unsightly, while clothing hides such imperfections i still know it's there and it bothers me unfortunately.
Going for a long hike in the hills out at the lake today, it is supposed to be quite warm and i haven't gone since spring have a nice day everyone.
