I MADE IT

This is the best day ever. August 4th I weighed 199 lbs. I can't even remember when I was under 200. I lost a half a pound each day for the whole week. then I gained one back on Monday and one more on Tuesday then I dropped 2 lbs Wednesday. Weird. By August 30th I was at 191. It took me a month to lose 10 lbs.  Then by my husbands birthday I was 185.5 lbs. I was eating good, not a lot and I was sure to get the most food I could to follow the program. I was eating a variety of fresh vegetables and lean meats. And, a WHOLE lot of water.
It was time to try on some clothes that I've  been saving for at least 10 years.  I put on some fun music (80's) and I headed to the bed room. As I'm pulling stuff out of the closet and trying it on, I'm seeing a pattern. Everything was to big. WTF!  I had lost so much weight around my hips and tummy that all the clothes were to wide. I laughed and realized that I get to go shopping. I had some really nice things that I was actually hoping to fit back into.  So I gutted the closet and grabbed some garbage bags  I had piles all over the place and the bed looked like a giant rummage sale. clothes and hangers every..I had at least 6 bags full of clothes, and I lot of hangers waiting for more. Oh that was fun.
