I turned 26 on June 13th, 2010. 26, ugh. That puts me on the other side of 25, which means that I am officially closer to 30 than 20. Ick, ick, ick. But this last year has been a huge one for me, no pun intended.
On my 25th birthday, I weighed 309 lbs.
On my 26th birthday, I weighed 206.8 lbs.
I’m still struggling to get to ONEderland. There is nothing quite so frustrating as being SO CLOSE to having a weight that starts with a 1 instead of a 2. I have been less than ten pounds away from that accomplishment for nearly a month now. I’m telling you, I am the queen of stalls. Water retention, hormonal fluctuations and general weight loss stalls seem to keep me bouncing around in a 3-5 pound range for a few weeks, and then BAM, I’ll drop 5-10 lbs in a matter of days. It’s weird, and nice when the BAM part happens. Speaking of which, I’m due for another BAM soon, so maybe I’ll get to ONEderland before August? I can only hope! In the meantime I’ll keep busy with work — I have my full-time job, plus many freelancing opportunities for baby shower themes articles to keep me busy!
A few weeks ago I registered gastricbypasschick.com. I plan on switching over to it once I hit 185 lbs. According to this BMI chart, I’ll be out of the obese category, and simply labeled as overweight instead. That right there will be an amazing accomplishment, one even more amazing than going from 331 to under 200 to 199 or less. I’ve been classified as obese for at least twelve years, so to break out of that category will be abso-fucking-lutely amazing.
