My sciatica has improved enough that i was able to walk a mile. I was slow and stiff, but at least I got some exercise in today.

I wore a sleeveless dress for the first time in almost 4 years and didn't once worry about the size of my arms!

I look good in shorts again. Went to Old Navy yesterday and bought a pair. They look awesome!

20 lbs down and my dad finally noticed & told me I was getting skinny ☺️ I've still got like 40 lbs to goal, so im far from skinny, but it was nice to hear!

Awesome job! I remember that feeling! Now my goal is to do it again, and consistently! Then 2 miles...and it keeps building!

I have pulled my belt in another notch (cannot wear my jeans without the belt anymore). Also, I did a volunteer gig yesterday. They had t-shirts for us to wear. I grabbed a large instead of my standard xl and the large fit just fine.

Scale has not been cooperating so I took my measurements.
Neck is down 1.25 inches
Stomach is down 10 inches
Waist is down 4.5 inches
Thighs are both down 2 inches
Upper arms are both down 3.5 inches
Bust is down 2.5 inches
Under boobs (where you measure for your bra band) is down 3.25 inches
Butt is down 5 inches

Yay!

1. My hairstylist (who I've been going to for years) said I needed to wear my hair shorter because it was starting to overpower my face, which is getting smaller.

2. I actually had not noticed my face had gotten smaller, so I asked my husband, and he said he'd been noticing my butt was getting smaller!

Your husband is definitely a keeper!

Going to a family function (one of those rare events when everyone can 'reunion') completely stressing not wanting to offend my dad and sister by not eating their horribly unhealthy (but tastie) menu choices but i have to do this new life for me!!!! I had a self heart to heart..

It went like this...
Self: you are going to die if you dont finish your journey. Do you want to die? The whole just a "little wont hurt" ?!? hurt you for 20 god darn yrs. If you werent an addict maybe it would differant...

Self, Listen its you or everyone else. Who do you choose?!! If they say anything or make you feel bad for bringing your own food. Then you know. Self, you know you need to keep going and let them go. You are too effing fragile and are still forming.. Still learning how to walk.. To have any haters in your close close circle. Even if it's family Self? Everyone in this situation is smart. Everyone is over 300 lbs. everyone has their own journey. If it goes south? Well? Then you know that support for your new lifestyle isnt in their wheelhouse yet
When they are ready to join you? Help them
But self? Listen get your stuff packed, have your sweet but firm responses ready as to why you arent eating the corn bread and macaroni or sin chocolate cake and lets do this!!!
It might go okay? Self lets just see. Bring your food and hang out and see ❤️

My sisters jaw dropped when I broke out my salad. But she quickly closed it. Said nothing.
My dad only said please just try my potato clam chowder (i took a lick ) and that was it.

Strength achieved. One event at a time. My NSV.

1) Yesterday was my 3 month anniversary of successful maintenance.

2) Despite have a flair up of sciatica, I still have been able to exercise. yesterday was only 1 mile at 10 minutes longer then normal , and today was 2 trips of 1 mile each, and a but quicker (even if not back to my norm.) I am just happy to be able to get some exercise in.

Woke up this morning with a small thigh gap!

I've been really sick for the past 4 days and super stressed for an exam I have in Tuesday ( stress due being unable to study for 4 days!) but I managed to eat at maintenance on date night tonight instead of just binging like I normally would.

Tomorrow is a colleague's retirement lunch and it's at my favourite all you can eat chinese buffet. As a pre-emptive move, I've pre-logged what I will eat. Let's hope I can stick to it. (Usually I can't and will binge eat by eating 1500 more calories than I should)
