Things I am celebrating:
I've spent most of my adult life on the heavy side. Probably my average dress size was 20 or 22. About 9 months ago I was starting to move into 26s. Every time I ate anything with a low glycemic index in any real quantity, I would get sleepy. Then I heard my brother had been diagnosed pre-diabetic.
Something in me clicked. I read Dr. Phil's book on dieting, and although I didn't choose to follow his plans, it helped me get real with myself. About 7 months ago I started.
Now I am starting to wear 16 and 16w clothes (I'm still too thick through the waist, but it's coming down. I've lost 11 inches off of my waist, 9 inches off of my hips, and about 8 inches off my abdomen.
I've learned to eat differently, and I don't play the same old games with myself. And I am wearing smaller clothes than I have worn since I was 21.
That is something to celebrate.
How fantastic for you! I'm so proud of you!
Holy cow, that's amazing! Congratulations! Last time my dimensions changed that much, I had a baby! ;-P
That's just...Incredible. I bet you have a good time looking at old pictures.
I am so proud of you. Congratulations!
And don't let anyone give you grief about following Dr. Phil's advice. I know there are some on FR who detest the man, but if that was the "kick in the butt" that you needed to get going--what can you say?
WOW!! That is so fantastic! Congrats on the weight loss. You look great :) Happy you found a weight loss program that works for you.
I just LOVE hearing happy/good news like that!
Good for you!!!! Hang in there!
