I have almost hit another hurdle. I am scared but I got approved for breast reduction surgery and I have it in 10 days from today on March 26th at 10 a.m. I weighed in yesterday at weight watchers at 190.4 only a half a pound away from being in the 180’s (although Tuesday at the doctors office for my diabetes checkup I was 188.4). I am down 66 pounds which seems surreal. I definitely feel like I don’t deserve it because the process hasn’t been that hard for me. The only thing I changed basically was making healthier choices when I eat out and trying not to eat every thing of an not so good for me choices.
My doctor set my goal weight at 175 pounds when I thought I needed to be 35 pounds lighter. I’m 15.4 pounds away from my official goal and 50.4 pounds from my ideal weight / BMI. There is no doubt in my mind that I’ll blow my doctors ideal weight out of the water. I figured I’ll just keep eating what I want and when I stop losing weight then I’m where my body wants to hang out at which is fine with me. I can wear a women’s xl and a size 14 jean so if I never get back down to a size 10 I’m ok with that.
What I feel I need to change is my physical endurance level. I still get out of breath slightly when I take a long flight Of stairs. I am going to go hiking with my little sister Brandi on my birthday just 26 days after my surgery I am hoping I can keep up with her and not slow her down to much. I sure hope it doesn’t rain because I am so looking forward to it. Maybe kris and I can go out walking when I get released to.
