I'm proud of myself

Hi everyone, today is Thursday February 22, 2007 and I weigh 155.0  I'm pretty proud of the fact I got my sh*t  together and got down to business. I had a not so good eating day the other day but I have redeemed myself with salads and cans of plain tuna (no mayo or pickle relish) and LOTS of water.

I took my MIL for lab tests today and then I took her to Wal-Mart for a couple of items she needed. She's lost about 90% of her eyesight due to being a diabetic for YEARS and not knowing it. She is a very religious woman and didn't go to ANY kind of doctor for almost 25 years, no matter what was wrong with her she just didn't go, she prayed about it. Now she's paying for it by losing her sight, and she sits and cries for hours and prays asking why God has not answered the prayers she's prayed for the last 2 years.

I feel so bad for her, she really is a sweet, sweet woman. I want God to heal her eyes so she can walk without tripping over nothing. Nothing will be in front of her or beside her and she'll trip because she "thinks" that something is in her way.

I want to lose weight for vanity, but I also don't want to end up like her. I was headed in that direction just a few months ago. I was morbidly obese my BMI was over 40, now it's in the 20's I am considered "overweight" by medical standards.

This has been the hardest thing I think I've ever had to do (lose weight). It's not easy saying no to food, especially when your mind is telling you to constantly eat it.

I have a few things to do around the house, hopefully I'll get back on here this evening and update, but if not I'l be back tomorrow.

Please enjoy my pics I up have posted here today, look in the picture gallery. I'll soon be adding "before" shots that will be taken tomorrow (2-23-07) I have 35 more pounds to go, I'm starting on the drug Phentermine tomorrow.

Wishing you all the very best,
