Just when you think buggered up. You didn't!!

I will start by saying that I seriously thought I had screwed up with eating late. Things that I shouldn't be eating and quite honestly drinking a little more as well. I had actually felt a little down if not depressed a couple days last week. I have been doing this with a stable loss. To say that I did not want to go 2 steps forward and 1 back (or should I say 2 pounds up and 1 down) is an understatement. I was really beating myself up over it. And all I kept thinking is that I don't see the doctor for another 2 weeks! It would kill me to wait that long. I know I would make myself feel worse. So I figured let's see what damage I did to myself.

So this past Friday morning I got ready and went into the doctor's office. I told one of the nurses that I was not seeing the doctor for another 2 weeks and I really felt that I had buggered up. Was there anyway that I could just get weighed to see what damage I had done so I could get back on track. No problem, she said. Let's go get weighed. So I went into the nurses room and taking off my coat and shoes, I told her that I was 224 the last time on the scale two weeks ago. So she set the scale at 224 for when I stepped on. Guess what???? To my amazement....the scale was tipped to the right. So she started to move it to the left and the scale started to level out till she stopped. I looked up. As soon as I saw 218 I started to cry. Not sure if it was from happiness or relief. Or maybe it was a bit of both. She looked at me and said 6 pounds. What were you worried about. That's a total of 30 pounds lost!!!

I left that office so happy. I felt like dancing!!!!!!! Even more so when I got home and got a pair of size 16 jeans on. Even more so when I put on some clothes that fit and people were telling me how great I look. That so helps me in this long journey that I am committed to. My friend Gina said to me, I wasn't that long ago you want to hit the 20 pound mark and here you are at 30 already. Thank you. Trust me when I tell you that I have been desperately trying to get the time to sit in front of the computer so that I post this latest update. So I am posting my newest pics with my weight loss now at 30 pounds. Update you in two weeks! Wish me luck!

Cheers!
