Great stuff, Alexandra!
PAV - lift those hands right. No excuses. Weight loss. Loose skin. Pfft.

I lift... it still registers "heat anomalies". No, the effing $#$%#$^# won't just do their #$%#$%#$^@ hand scan before playing 20 tries. I do NOT like the little photo booth!2

Yup - got frisked in Vancouver and Toronto. Either Canada has ultra sensitive scanners or is much more strict in interpreting the scans. Loose skin was confusing because maybe so few people have actually lost enough weight to have surplus skin?
It’s happened a few times in the US but not in the last three years. Now that I’m officially 75 years old I register as harmless!2 -
SO...Yooly...if we want to smuggle some contraband somewhere...you for hire?

I was thinking more along the lines of "in just xxxx days"* I too will qualify as (mostly) harmless!
*assuming I don't get smacked by a bus before then
**does this explain why I don't much like busses?!!?!?!

One of the joys of aging is you no longer have to “play the game”. Dress as you please in ridiculously outdated clothes, ask for favors ( I need to sit down or can I get ahead of you in line?). No work schedule. Outside of way too much time with doctors, it’s all good.
Basically you just don’t register with people middle-aged or younger - I’m invisible! I do try to not be obnoxious but I’m sure tempted because I’ll be forgiven for being old. Win-win situation!👍3 -
Another JOY at the start of the holidays.... three years after losing the majority of my weight. My pants fit, coat zip up easily, Christmas sweater fits. Winter gear gets hauled out for only a short time in Texas. It was a toss up whether the stashed clothes would fit after 9 months of waiting. Kind of like pregnancy!
My weight would usually go up between seasons. Rarely in my yo-yo years could I hope for looser clothes or even be the same size. So to have the same things be wearable is a wonderment.
I saved a beautiful red coat hubby bought for me right after we married 48 years ago. We moved often and the coat came with me but I never could wear it after our first anniversary. Well I’ve been able to enjoy that coat for the last three years and hopefully many more.3 -
What inspiration you share in that post, Yooly.
Congratulations!2 -
Little victories yesterday and last night
Victory 1: Actually felt hungry! It has been months and months. Was so excited to cook up my middle of the day meal and it was so satisfying to eat.
Victory 2: I know it was a deficit day - very few of those in the past few months - because I woke up in the middle of the night RAVENOUS! Finally broke down and got up to have a snack. I won't make that a habit...but I'm trying to be smart about my hamster wrangling and I don't want them to stage a full out war.
Victory 3: Had the last two jello pudding cups from yesterday's shopping trip (thank you Athijade for reminding me of those babies) - woohoo - stopping there would have been great on the calorie front - but the pudding cups didn't do it so I added a very early "breakfast" of an egg scrambled with 150g of boiled potato leftover from the day before and a liberal dousing of sriracha. Was satisfied. But, then the crazy wheel started spinning and I wanted to eat everything in the house. Cravings took over, especially for carbs, but there aren't many in the house (foiled again little furry ones). I considered going out to the corner store, but my knee is still not up to that, and then I remembered there was oatmeal...and walnuts...and then...I regained control of the giant hamster beasts and decided NO. Time to go back to bed. And I did. 5 -
So take that!….naughty rodents!3

I walked into a grocery store needing 2 things (eggs and mashed potatoes). I walked out with eggs and mashed potatoes. My diet and wallet are happy.4
-
Way to go, Athijade!4

Well done!2
-
Yes, good job…I can’t go into any store without coming out with a cart full!1

I have officially be counting again for 10 days.
Really happy about that.6
