So after the "altercation" that I wrote about yesterday, I was poking around on the internet learning about crossfit and I found this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f4E57momcY

I'm not afraid to lose weight. I'm not afraid of a new look. I'm not afraid of leaving this body behind because once upon a time I was thin and I was pretty. I know I could be again.

Oy veh.

Meh.

A lady at school asked me is I was pregnant.

I said, "No, I'm just fat."

Then she said, "I used to be that way, now I have a friend and we walk once a week."

I thought I'd weigh in today, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow. Maybe.

I bought some new running shoes.....Nike Pegasus Zoom 33. I'm really happy with them and they have great support so my legs and feet don't hurt so much. But the restless legs are still a huge issue. I'm not sleeping so great at night and I'm tired.

So i put on a denim skirt today that I haven't worn in two y...

"Slow and steady", said the turtle

Wednesday, August 3rd 2016

245.8. Slow and sure it's coming off. And that's ok. It's not going up. That is SO consoling.

I had a panic attack yesterday in the doctor's office when they told me to get on the scale and then I had to calm myself down because I remembered that I'm losing not gaining and that sickening dread dissipated. I was actually ok with my weight, which NEVER happens because I realized that the scale was not going up. While I didn't turn cartwheels, I did however give an audible sigh of relie...
