Last night I loaded 8 HUGE bags of clothes in the car to get out of my house forever. Wow...it feels so good! My pants fall down, I drown in my shirts...yeah, they had to go. I've dug out some of the clothes from circa 2004-5 and they are doing good for me. I'm a snug size 20 or baggy 22. Plus, I'm blessed with having a dear friend who has been losing weight just ahead of me, and she's passing her stuff on to me. Score! With new (to everyone around me) clothes that actually FIT, people are really noticing. In the last 4 days I've been stopped 5 times and complicated on how good I look.
At the same time as all this awesomeness, the rapid changes are giving me a bit of a mid-life crisis. I don't think I'm going to go out and buy a red convertible, but you never know... :)
With these last few pounds I've lost, I also passed down into "regular" obesity too. No more qualified, extra bad obesity! Just plain old obese. I'm just a week or so away from losing 100 pounds too. I'm going to have to set some new goals for myself. I'd originally hoped to get under 200 pounds by my birthday (January 10), but now I think I could realistically shoot for 175. Wow. And maybe a 5K by then too. Things are going well!
