    @barbheart @sammygold2015 @mistymeadows2005, thanks ladies! I can't stop choking up. I'm at the halfway point, just over it in fact! 45.8 pounds gone and 44.2 pounds to go. Between my extended fast and now this, I feel refreshed and renewed. I love myself and that's something that's taken my whole life to do... even if I don't drop another pound, IF is MY life. Can't imagine it any other way! My daughter and husband and sister flipped out when they saw the pictures. They all love me for who I am and didn't "see" me as fat and obese so they were shocked upon viewing, lol. My sister told me I look, "Tiny". I told her that I am far from tiny, but the side by sides only make me appear that way because of all the rolls in I had in the before photos, lol

    terrific Sandy. You've made a lasting change that you should be proud of.
    And just think where you might be 2-3 months down the road!

    Thank you, Niha, I feel like a new person, that's for sure. The new me wants to give that sad and pathetic woman next to me a big hug and tell her that all will be okay and she can do it!

    When your very busy and married daughter calls you and asks to meet for lunch, yet your window doesn't open for three hours, and your official weigh-in is on the next day. Do you say, "Sorry, honey, I'm fasting and have a weigh-in, so nope" or "Sure! I'll be up there in a few"? You open your window a bit earlier, stop caring about the scale and enjoy and live in the moment, OMAD isn't a diet, I don't feel like I'm cheating or doing something bad. That said...

    Today's food porn is brought to you by Rico American Mexican Restaurant... vegetarian quesadilla filled with cheese, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, and other goodies, along with a plate of rice and beans. I also had a few tortilla chips and salsa. I'm stuffed!

    I can't even explain how yummy it was. I killed that entire quesadilla, couldn't eat even half the beans and rice. Of course, chips and salsa were served first, couldn't let them just sit there or expect my sweet daughter to eat them alone. Lol

    Hope the next 8 hours flys by for ya :)
