March 21, 2001 - I am so sorry for now posting in such a long time.. I have been so
busy enjoying life that I have not had a chance to post any updates.. I will try to stay
on the ball from here on out! Well, I am doing great!! It has now been 5 months and
I am down 70 lbs! My weight has slowed a bit but I am still losing pretty steadily.. I
have had absolutely no problems except for a bit of my hair falling out but my hair
was so thick to begin with that it's a welcome change! It's not falling out in clumps..
I just notice a lot more hair in my brush in the mornings... But, even that is starting
to slow down a bit now... I am able to eat anything i want although some things like
cake and ice cream still make me dump.. Luckily I don't want them very often.. I'm
not eating the healthiest things in the world but I'm not living off of junk food either..
I eat what I want and if I don't lose I can't blame anyone but myself.. But, I want to
enjoy life so I don't hold back.. But, a pie plate of food is MORE than enough for
me now.. Most of the times I will need to put half of it back in the fridge for
later depending on what I am eating and how long it's been since I ate last. If
I go more than a few hours without eating something, I notice that when i do eat
I can eat a lot more.. I try not to do that very often though.. I can also drink
like a fish.. When I started this journey, I was wearing a size 30/32.. I am now
wearing a 24!! I am getting into clothes I haven't gotten into in years and let me
tell you.. It feels FANTASTIC!!!! For the first time since high school I am wearing
makeup everyday.. And I can do a lot before i get our of breath.. One other
thing I would like to add... On February 4th 2001, I got married!! For those of
you who are still wondering the BIG question, If I had to do it all over again,
would I? Not yes but HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've also put some new pics up for you to
look at.. I'll have some better ones in a few weeks.. :)
