1st day of Optifast and my starting #'s...
Aug 21, 2009
Okay so I cheated this AM, since I did not have the Optifast yet and it was going to be warm I did endulge one last time in a McDonalds breakfast...I knew it would help tide me over for most of the day...So far I have had one Optifast, one cup of chicken brooth and a few sugar free hard candies to suck on. I did not realize I would crave food so bad. I so want to go in the kitchen and pig out...
It is interesting this is the only community I feel so comfortable with to post all my status on my weight and measurements. I could never share this info with my family etc. I have just started to tell people I am going to have WLS as I wanted most to see me and go WOW when I start to lose. But slowly I have started to let people know.
I am just glad for this community, who accepts me for who I am, won't think twice when the hear what I weigh because we have all been there. It is just great to have a place here to escape.
With that...every Friday will be my official stats day for my weight and measurements. I have some photos from today that I will upload. I think I will only do my photos every 4 to 5 weeks to see a true change. I have not decided yet.
Okay official start stats:
08/21/2009
Weight: 298 Pounds
Waist: 57"
Neck: 17"
Bicep: 15.5"
Forearm: 11.25"
Chest/Bust: 59.25"
Hip: 55.5"
Thigh: 26.75"
Calf: 18"
So there it is... My official info... Lets see how much I can lose in the two (possible longer...see prior blogs why) I am pushing to be 285 - 280 for surgery. I know I can do it. I am so tired for little sleep last night but thinking tomorrow with the family we will go for a nice long walk....as long as it is not raining...
Thank you everyone that reads this and supports me. It is great to have a place like OH to come and just really be able to express myself openly and honestly.
You all ROCK!!!
2 weeks and counting...(I am going to say it will happen even if there is a possiblity that it could be postponed)
Also just for those that read my vent, this AM hubby did apologize to me. He feels bad about everything that happened last night. He says he was just tired and really not thinking. He knows the sorry won't fix it and knows that a seed of doubt has been planted and wants to now prove to me that he can abstain with no worries about him cheating. That for the next six weeks he will abstain so we don't have a chance of me getting pregnant when we are just starting this journey. So we will see what happens and how it goes. Thank you again everyone for the support!!!
