I always felt the need to dress better than most people,or look cooler, or have a cooler haircut, to distract from my weight. Now I just throw on a long sleeve Tshirt and shorts or jeans, and i'm set.I lovethis.
Oh! Which reminds me. I would ALWAYS gethot... this time last year, at my highest weight ever(around280something) I would wear tshirts and not wear a coatin the winter, because I just gothot. I think it had something to dowith my blood pressure.
(Note: Sorry if a lot of words arestuck together.. My spacebar isn't working very well,today.)
But now I got outa coat that Ihavent worn since iwas 11.. and not only does itfit, but i actually wear it. I get cold. Small victory? Yes.
I went to take my GED today (super easy, by the way...) and iwas in a room of like fourty other people.. of all ages. For once, Iwasn't thebiggest person in the room.. I looked around and saw majority of the class was obese... and most of them were biggerthan me! Imean,ifeel bad for them.. But.. That'savictory for me, too.
I have absolutely no clothes that fit me. I went to walmart a weekortwoago (somewhere icould NEVERshop at, till now.) and got a fewthings.. so i have like.. two shirts and my coatthat fit... I'm honestly going to start wearing my brothers clothes untill after theholidays when i have money to buy some. If anyone wants any clothes anywherefrom 1x-4x that don'tfitme, email me... i'll mail them to you.. No joke. I can't waittoget rid of most of them. Goodwill, to a friend orfamily, or you, or whoever. I"m going tokeep one shirt and one pairofjeansthough... just so i can always look back and say "Whoa... I can't beleive Iusedto weigh this much!" haha.
Something elseInoticed: I used to always layer a ton.. my shirts hadto be long.. most of my weight was/is in my stomach area.. soialways wore dark long shirts to slim down iguess.. I've noticed, i'm wearing alot ofstripes and plaid and weird designs and stuff now.. i still like darkerclothes.. Grey especially.. I don'tknowwhy. I just do. But the patterns andstuffare cool. I wuold never wearthem before!
Life is good. I posted on obesityhelp the other day... I raelized I"m halfway to my own personal goal of 130lbs.. My endocrine's goal is 180.. my surgeon never specified.. but anyways, i started out at 285-ish... I'm 214 now.. so i get down to 207.5lbs,andi'll be exactly halfway there! formine,anyway. I'm way past half for my endocrines goal (who i seein a weekor so.)(:
A lotofpeople think its a long shot..thati'll betoothin at 130lbs.. I don't know.so maybei'll change it later on. But for 5'2-1/2" about 140 isconsidered a'normal' bmi.. which ismy real goal.. ijustwant to pass 140 a littlebit. but like i said, that may change.
So yeah. that's my post for today.
Have a good day! Have a good night aswell. Sleep with Angels.. Dream about llamas jumping over fences.. (Travis Clark reference.. don'tknow whoheis? google the band We The Kings. <3:D haha.)
Live. Laugh. Learn.
