25% lost!....75% doesn't feel so far away!
i went for my check-up on wed. i thought for sure that i might be in trouble for not losing like i should. being slow is alright w/ me as long as i get there but i didn't want to disappoint my surgeon.
he walked into the room w/ his usual smile (a great smile) and we talked. then he turned his attention to my chart and where it said what i weighed. oh boy, i thought here it comes. but before he turned back i saw his cheeks puff w/ a smile...yes a smile... he said, "your doing great!!" in my shock i said, "really" i thought i was kinda on the slow side.
he said no that i had already lost 25% of the weight i was over weight. WOW! i hadn't looked at it like that.....=) then he put me at easy about people's bodies being different and the rate of time vs. what was lost wasn't the goal...the goal was the end of the road...i was glad to hear that...that we were both on the same page and i don't have to worry about disappointing his any more.
i have been feeling a acid on my stomach the past few mornings. so i'm gonna take a few minutes this weekend to try and pin point the cause b/c i don't like waking up feeling that way even though its not uncomfortable just annoying.
so keep in mind what my doc said.... "the goal isn't the amount of weight you lose in a short amount of time, its the goal of reaching the end of the road...healthy" =)
also, that 100% goal is actuall 106 pounds which would put me at 135...i can't imagine. my goal on here is set at 165...i'm thinking of changing it to 145..but those small numbers are still hard to believe they could become a reality...so i may wait a little longer before i change my goal setting on here.
