[Michele Schaefer Docy]

Yay Wendy!!!
That's so great! I know you can do it

[wendya]

Thanks for celebrating with me! It's so amazing to reach this milestone! Feels pretty darn good.
Got a dress on that now hangs...guess I'll wear it once or twice and it will be going elsewhere too.

Running late today and gotta go start my day.

Here's to another pound this week and a whole new journey!

Watched all of Ann Louise's videos today on the internet. There were many of then. I have to tell you that lady is amazing. I admire and respect her and all the wonderful knowledge she has about nutrition and our bodies. Thank you Ann Louise, we love you!!

I second that opinion!!

While waiting for the printer, got to take a very long look in the mirror.

Despite the miraculous shrinking of 20 pounds and about 40 inches - there is still so very much more of me to flush!
Used to be my stomach that made me cringe. Now it's the thighs. There is a layer of fat on them at least 3" thick.
How did I manage to let this go for so long? Amazing how seeing is selective when it comes to the reality of our bodies.
I'm amazed I go out in public in a swimsuit.

Just lets me see how much more I have to change - and how some of the next changes will look. Yes, I really do have to look at losing another 100 pounds - or deal with my thighs for the rest of my life.

My ankle went down to 9.5 inches today. Wondering just how small my ankles can get?!? Looks mighty fine to me at this size, but I suppose it could go smaller. Time will tell.

Ok, back to the printer - which doesn't like me tonight.

Tap Tap ladies. Tap Tap.

[Kathryn C.]

Now, now Wendy. Don't get that tone with us....HeHe. Don't look at how much more you have to lose. Look at how much you have lost. I want the other Wendy to post again. The happy, positive, "I can do it" Wendy. She is in you. You know, we all do and say what you just said. Everyone on the forum pulls us out of that slump. You have done it continuously for us and we are here to pull you out of that mood about losing weight. This too shall pass. Just wait it out!!! Get that cranwater and TapTap yourself through this. Love ya!!

[wendya]

Hugs Kathryn. You are so sweet.

Yes, I found myself in the midst of a reality check. I think it's amazing that what we often perceive in the mirror is what our minds want to see - not what is really there. That's how I managed to add in a few pounds a year and not really notice how BIG I'd become. Part of my new lifestyle is acknowledging the reality of the consequences of 50+ years of denial. That is the cold, hard truth.

That said, I'm on my way to a new, svelte, healthy me.

Gotta go staff the farmers market today. Back in a few hours.

Tap Tap!
