So, I've started this weight loss thing. I wasn't too keen on the idea but knew I had to do something because I was knocking on the door of 400 lbs. I actually weighed 375! Not a good number for me or my body. Gratefully, one of my chiropractors told me about the "Take Shape for Life" Diet with Medifast as a food. I really didn't have a choice. It was that or immobility. I wasn't ready for the Jazzy yet however if someone had purchased me one, I would have taken it. One of my complicating problems is that I have osteoarthritis of the hip bilaterally. (Cool word huh?) I'm looking at hip replacements someday.
So, with a week of mourning for those foods I love and having several "last suppers" I began my journey on December 14, 2009. Honestly, I was saying to family over Christmas "if this doesn't work in a year, I'm going to say bag it and eat anything and everything I want!" Much to my surprise today, May 4, 2010 I can say that I've lost 75 lbs! I'm so looking forward to getting on the scale tomorrow and being under 300! I can't remember the last time I was under there! I can honestly say that my Drivers License is lying about my weight. (Haha)
I can't say I've done this on my own because I know that Heavenly Father has been with me and so have my angels that have often carried me on bad days. (pain or otherwise)
I need to get some photos I know but for now you just have to take my word for it. :D Life is good even on pain filled days.
