Down 25 lbs. since last doctor appt.

Today was my 3 month appt with dr. My goal was 25 lbs and I did it. Now waiting to see what blood work says. She said may be able to stop morning diabetic med. depending on A1C. Have lowered night time insulin by 4 units. BP and Cholestrol meds. will probably still be on them for a while.

I haven't weighed 190 lbs since 7 years ago when I had my gallbladder out which was suppose to be in and out surgery and ended up staying in hospital for 3 day with pancretitis. My son was getting married that year and did get to 192. Before that probably was about 25 years old.

So what changed this time. Well, my last dr. visit everything was out of control and dr. said she wanted me to take 3 insulin shots before each meal. I already take one at bedtime and I refused. That was after blood test results and I decided that was it. I had to do something. I started immediately dieting and treadmill, counting calories and figuring out my meal plans. I have been to dietician twice and go back end of month.

Come first of June I was down 18 lbs but knew I need more support. My husband supports me 100% but other family and friends say nothing. Sometimes I think they try to sabotage me. I know, it's probably not true but it's how I feel. That's when I joined CK.

I'm so greatful I found this great group of supporters I enjoy so much the information and knowledge that you all have provided me. The forums are great and the blogs are encouraging. Thank you all for sharing your story. When it's a bad day I know I can go to CK and find some encouraging words from someone. Spending the time on CK helps me to re-focus and continue this "life style change". Which I know is what we are all going through together.

So it has finally sunk in my head that I have lost some weight and needed some clothes. I don't know why but I still look the same to me when I look in the mirror. I had a skort from a few years ago with the tag still on, size 18. I decided to put it on cause it should fit from what the scales were telling me. Well, I put it on and it fell off. I went shopping which is not my favorite things to do and I had to go around the corner to the misses and OMG I was in L & XL shirts and another OMG size 16 shorts. I couldn't believe it! So I came home, went through my closet and pulled out all the 2XL & 1XL shirts and womens large pull-on shorts, then went futher into the close to winter stuff too. I have two trash bag of clothes to donate and my closet is empty. I'm still nervous cause I know what can happen. But they are gone now and I WILL continue with this change. I know I have the support from my CK friends.

So my goes to each of you as we travel this journey together.
