Hi all....I hope this finds you all well and having a great day. For all of you who have read my first blog, that same person did something really nice for me in June before all this rediculous stuff went down. In one of our many conversations, we were discussing clothes, diets, exercise and things like that. I had told her that I knew that I needed to lose weight and oh boy did I ever. It had gotten to the point where walking a block would have me huffing and puffing and I just watched as my clothes got larger and larger in size. anyway, on this day that we were talking about willpower and how I at that point had none. She said that everyone has willpower to a point but they need to find it. She helped me find it and I started on a diet in June. Everytime I wanted to eat something that I shouldn't she would be there with an alternative like take a walk or have a salad or wrap....oh my goodness what does she mean to leave bread out of this situation...I can't do that. lol well through her constant support and love I managed through the first month. Many a late night email to her saying OMG it is after 6 and I am starving what do I do...which she would reply don't worry you won't starve to death but drink some diet pepsi, green tea or water and I was hoping for her to suggest a hershey bar or something. lol She told me that those feeling of hunger would go away and I just kept wondering WHEN????? Needless to say Diet Pepsi and I became close friends and yes I would break into her not so secret stack of miniture snickers, in her top desk drawer, once in awhile and have one...
One day I was at work and she came up behind me and I was sort of holding onto my pants for dear life. She said for me to come into her office and when I got there she was like close the door and of course I got paranoid since whenever she asked you into the office and promptly told you to close the door, there was trouble brewing, lol anyway, I shut the door, braced myself for getting yelled at but instead she started laughing and I was like what is so funny bosslady...she was like what are you doing? I said why do you ask and she replied with you are holding onto your pants for dear life. Well it turned out that she had always told me do not go on the scale just watch by your clothes. It just so happened that my pants had given that normal stretch ontop of being a little loose to begin with and I showed her and told her I think we need to go shopping at lunch. She was like OMG I THINK SO..lol I went to the store and I had gone down 2 pants sizes and was I happy but I still did not know the amt of poundage I had lost.
So now as the weeks were going by, I was noticing some changes in my hands and face but did not think to much of it. I figured about 40 lbs max. I never got past that point on any diet...but I also noticed that the hunger pangs at night were finally beginning to go away and if they hit some dry cheerios or some melon would suffice. I slacked off on the Mickey D's and BK and ate turkey instead. Yes I had a bagel on the weekends but only one. Then one day, I was waiting at a light and I went to go throw my cigarette out the window and along with it went my ring.....so I jump out and get it amid the honking of the horns behind me, then was like maybe it is not just water weight. Everyone at work was like are you losing weight? I was yep thanks to ....
Moving forward, 2 weeks ago, my salvary glad had a stone in it again (and boy does that hurt) so the ER doctor suggested that since this was not the first time this had happened I should go see an ENT doctor so I went to my doctor on Monday to get a referral and asked if they had a scale that would register my weight because very few scales go that high. She was like come in the back and I got on the scale and automatically put it to the highest setting and it went all the way down. We went another notch down and that was a little high so slowly we moved that little thingy up and omg what I saw made me happy!!!! I was so excited.
On my friend's last day at work and despite the fact that we were not to converse, I just had to tell her my news. So when she came over to me to say goodbye...I wanted so much to say I foregive you blah blah blah but all that came out was thanks for the nice things that you did for me especially the diet thing. I told her that I knew she said never go on the scale but I just wanted to know. I told her I went to the dr. and the scale read that I had lost 95 lbs. She got this big smile on her face and said OMG I am sooo proud of you. Just keep exercising and it will come off more. This is when she took my hand gave it three squeezes smiled again, said I will miss you too and walked away. I am up to 101 LBS now thanks to this friend. I have not been at this weight for many years and it feels great!!! I will be forever grateful.
