Measurements. 01/27/2016.

I finally took out the measuring tape and decided to check my measurements.  I know I should have done that in the very beginning so that I could keep track of my inches lost but I was embarrassed.  I was terrified of seeing just how big every part of me was.  So here I am 4 months out and finally having the courage to actually write down the numbers.  The sad part is I did this over 2 weeks ago and am just now putting them on blast.  I'm not sure what I was afraid of....I tell you all everything. You have all seen my journey and walked through it with me.  There is always that one hinderence. So here are the monstrous results:
Arm/Bicep: 13 in
Breasts: 39.5 in
Stomach: 41 in
Waist: 34.75 in
Hips: 46 in
Thigh: 27
Calve: 15.75 in

Onward to other news....or not really news I should say.  I'm asked often how I am doing.  My post yesterday was all fun and exciting, hitting the 160's.  Those moments are fantastic!  Those moments are what keeps me sane.
If I am being completely honest my days kind of suck.  If I didn't have to eat to live i wouldn't.  I hate eating. I despise eating. I can't stand food.  I feel like shit after pretty much everything I put in my mouth.  I have stomach cramps, nausea, dizziness, heart palpitations, and sweating.  When I mention this to the Dr's office they automatically assume I am eating food to high in carbs and sugar and in turn am dumping.  I have to tell them absolutely not.  I steer very clear from the sugary carb filled crap.  I have this reaction to cheese, carrots, cucumbers, eggs....pretty much everything.  I've been unable to take the Reglan four times a day due to it knocking me out like Sleeping Beauty! I am taking one at bedtime. I take Zofran about twice a day.  I keep being told that it will get better so I am holding on to that.  I'm also told that this doesn't happen to everyone so if you are considering the surgery don't let this stop you!  I have a Dr's appointment on March 1st and I will hopefully get some answers!

New territory.

For the first time in an extremely long time I am in the 160's.  I woke up this morning and weighed 169.2!  I wanted to jump up and down and scream with excitement.

 I am now down a total of 70 pounds!!!

 I haven't felt this amazing in a very long time. With the amazement is coming much overdue confidence.

I am so excited to continue this adventure!
