Here's the scoop.
Hi all! I know it's been awhile since my last post and I apologize for that. I am off of Phase 2 and living a liberal phase 3! I actually had some cake last night for my son's 19th birthday. It tasted way to sweet because I'm not use to all that sugar. My son and his girlfriend made it together so I had to try it.
I seem to have found my permanent weight range to be at the 130 level that for some reason I cannot escape. My weight has been varying from 129-133 and nothing over or under. I'm happy with the 130 mark because my body is healthy looking and feeling. I am in those size 7's and they are loose in the waist.
Now, on the dating front to Mark who asked. I have been on a few dates, some good, some downright scary! Life has changed so much and it's hard to meet real people these days. I am having fun and out of my dating adventures I have made a really good friend and some acquaintances that I hang out with and they look out for me, which is very nice. Mostly it's just nice to get out and live life again.
I think that losing all of that weight using the HCG/Simeon's protocol has helped to boost my confidence, plus my self image has changed. It use to be that if I weighed 130 it wouldn't be good enough. I would think of myself as fat. Not because of the look, but the number. Since changing my eating habits, weighing myself daily and TAKING MY MEASUREMENTS my perception of my body has changed 100%. People need to learn that it's not the number on the scale that is the only indicator of their health and shape. I weigh more than when I was in my 20's, but my physical shape and measurements are much better. It feels good to look in the mirror and though I don't see perfection and I could never be a model, I am satisfied and content for the first time in many years with what I see.
My brother's wedding is next Saturday. At the beginning of this journey the goal was to lose weight, I wanted to be 125-128#. My results were almost exact. I did not want to look like the "fat older sister" to my baby brother. I think that goal has been reached and I am looking forward to wearing my new blue dress to the wedding. Next week when the pictures come in I will post one of me in that blue dress. Then you all can judge for yourself whether you think I met my goal.
