I weighed in at 349.8 this morning. Woohoo!!! This was my first mini-goal I had set for myself. When I started at 395, it seemed like it would take forever. It has only taken 3.5 months or so. Not bad!!
I also no longer hurt!!! A friend who is a nurse thinks I may have had adhesions. (Abdominal adhesions are bands of tissue that form between abdominal tissues and organs. Normally, internal tissues and organs have slippery surfaces, which allow them to shift easily as the body moves. Adhesions cause tissues and organs to stick together.) Well, apparently, when I was so sick, I may have ripped them. Which is a good thing!! It hurt at the time, but I was already hurting, so no biggie!
I woke up yesterday morning not hurting! I'm so excited. I feel so much better. I've lost just over 45 pounds. And I feel great! My normal clothes are pretty baggie. But I don't really want to do much about new clothes until I've gotten into an exercise routine. I'd love to wait until I lose another 50, but I think I would have to start tying a rope around my waist. The other thing is that I need to go through my closet and group my clothes by size so that I can transition into the next smaller size more easily. And I am pitching my 4X and 5X clothes!! Well, donating. I know that I have friends and my mother who will happily adjust any clothes I would like. But, I don't want to keep anything that is above a 3X.
I guess, to me, normal stores carry 3X. 4X or 5X is really fat. Probably totally weird mental thing. But, I don't care!!! When I decide that a 4X or 5X is too big for me, it gets washed and put in the box. I have a feeling that, for a while, I will be taking those boxes to donate pretty frequently!!! Those will be happy days!!!
And, when my black knit pants are too loose, they are gone!!! That is all I wear!! I have like 7 pairs of them. I am sick of them. I want to wear real pants, again. It has been way too long!!!
And, tomorrow is NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!!! Woohoo!!! I am scrapbooking 10am to midnight!! Woohoo!! And then watching the Kentucky Derby at 6pm. Yay!!! I love the first Saturday in May! Scott is taking the kids to the OSU Renaissance Festival. Fun for all!

I love you, and I am so happy for you Wendie. Cleaning out the closet is a wonderful thing I can only imagine doing. I am so glad the pain is gone...the adhesion thing is amazing.
Yuck! about the bread. My mom would over eat, then throw up, and it kind of became a habit. Is that something the support group has talked about? Is that a normal occurance?
Hugs and more hugs!
