)I have been working on this since December 2008, and losing slowly but steadily since. Sometimes I am better at eating right, logging my food and exercising regularly, sometimes less so. Some months I lost 1 pound, and other months I lost almost 10.
For me, the journey has been the key. I have gotten stronger, gained endurance. Heck, I became a runner and I like it.
On the other hand, I am losing clothing left and right, as I shrink out of them. I make a lot of my own clothing for some of my hobbies and it is a bit frustrating to have spend hours sewing a dress and then find the next time you wear it that it will not fit you in the way it is meant to.
I am working in sweating this less, but it is hard.I still have 65 to 75 pounds left to go, so my journey is far from over. And the list of things that I am not going to do (like buy a new ball gown, or get fitted for a new SCUBA buoyancy control device) until I have stabilized my weight is starting to get long. But I am still okay, and I am still enjoying myself.
And I am still a big old loser.
