I am going to celebrate . . . my 150lb loss

[top_kat]

I forgot to weigh in yesterday so did it this morning and since I last weighed in I've lost 3lbs.

So, I have hit today on the nose a 150lb loss

:talk017:

Last night at a group I go to, we had to show something of ourselves. I showed them a photo of where I was back in August of last year. 150lb heavier. The lady leading the group said "Who is this you are showing us a photo of".

When I replied it is me, the whole group gasped loudly and then started clapping. I have apart from here, never really shown my "before" photos. Especially the ones from that holiday.

I've never shown them to people who are strangers. I see the photo now - one from that fateful trip to Italy which was my "final straw" and it doesn't even look like me. I actually had to fight back tears when she asked me, how I felt when I see that photo. And I explained that it makes me realise how much of my life I wasted being overweight. It makes me sad that is how I was and yet didn't really see it.

I am 10 sizes down in tops, 9 sizes down in bottoms. I have lost 2 shoe sizes. I have dropped over 24 points of BMI and hit 30 on the nose, so with another lb, I will no longer be classed as obese. It will be the LAST time I will be classed as obese!

And although I may fall short of the target I wanted to reach by Xmas to be in the 12 stones, I am only 4lb away. But, I wanted to lose minimum of a stone before Xmas and I HAVE achieved that. Plus, there's still 11 days to go.

My band journey has been up and down, it isn't yet working in the way that we had hoped in terms of restriction and hunger. But it HAS worked. Simply by its placement it has worked, it has changed the way I think, the way I eat, but more so the way I feel.

I NEED to celebrate it and I know that everyone here will really relate to those feelings too.

Let's bring on the :dancing_snowman: lol
