My health and weight loss journal
After more than eight years I've finally reached the weight - give or take a pound or two - that I was before I got married and had three more children. (My oldest daughter was about 10 when I got married.) I'm pretty pleased with my progress; starting out January 2008 at 199 pounds and now I'm at about 156ish. Around the weight I was when I met my soon-to-be ex.
Now this is the part that gets a little Off My Chest-ish:
I heard through the proverbial grapevine that someone said, "She's lost an excessive amount of weight." Are you kidding me?
I get back to a healthy weight for my height and I'm even criticized about that. Some people really need to mind their own business and get a life! They also - take note if you're reading this (you know who you are) - need to keep my name outta their mouth. I'm sure I can sue for defamation of character or something like that. Huff.
Okay, sorry, back to what I was saying...
So, I'm proud of myself (even though I wouldn't mind losing about five more pounds) and think I look much better than I did a year or so ago. I was looking at some pictures and I was a little chubby. This weight is healthier and I hope I can keep it off. Maintaining weight, I have discovered, is a lifestyle but - luckily - it's one I enjoy.
I'll have to track down the picture I saw to share with you at another time, my youngest child is screaming for my attention and I have to get everyone in the bed. To make up for my photo neglect, check out some of my older health and weight loss journals... there are a few that have pictures. :)
3 folks a chattin':
Sometimes you have to let haters hate. I'm sure that you look wonderful! Though I have always thought you looked wonderful. The important thing is you are healthy and you like the way you look! So for the rest of the folks that has something to say they can talk it while the walk! Do you lady! I'm really proud of you!!!!!
Congratulations on your weight lost. I'm trying to get where you are, any advice for those of us who are still struggling?
Ah, haters. When they start talking behind your back--they are haters. Apparently you must look fab or they wouldn't say a thing now, would they?? You are lovely, Petula! Good for you!!! Ignore the haters, they are J E A L O U S!!!
