152.2

Ok~here's the post you have all been waiting for from me. I know your looking, watching. LOL For me 153 is my number I like to stay away from and not exceed. It's my STOP sign. I fluctuate between 147-150, sometimes a bit lower and sometimes a bit higher. Today 152.2! Ut Ooo Every morning for the last year plus when I weigh in less then 150 pounds I dance and jump after I get off the scale. It's my happy dance. The past 2 weeks there has been less dancing in the mornings. I got here and I'm staying here. I've got 3-4 pounds to lose right now and that feels great. Years ago it was so overwhelming to realize you have a whole person to lose. I will not let it become 15 or 25 pounds and ignore my actions. I've been told by many and my hubby I could stand to gain 10 pounds or so. NOPE! La La La, I'm not listening to them. My all time low was 145 and being at and around 150 I feel the best. Even this week I notice my jeans fit better at 148 and I can't believe how different your clothes feel/fit with only a few pounds. How come I never noticed that years ago??? So I know what I've been doing. Picking things that I should pick "once" in awhile. Snacking on this, snacking on that. Meal times have been pretty normal and I'm not making mistakes there really. It's the in between snacks that I've chosen to put into my mouth. Eating when I don't really need to eat. Those sneaky little life habits are trying to bring me down and they are familiar and tasty. But not one piece of food can make me feel like I have felt this past 15-16 months since I reached my goal. It's time to step back~look @ what I'm putting into my mouth and pick up a cucumber if I think I'm hungry rather than Bugles and crap. These things can still be part of my life, just not each day and in moderation. I get it~Look at anyone you know that is healthy and has the eating under control. They work @ it everyday. They may slide off for a weekend or a meal but they jump right back on the next meal with good food choices and working out. This year my hubby and I have taken more hikes than we ever have in all our years together. I will not give that up and let myself down. I am able to move, I feel great and have been giving a great "tool". This is my chance to make myself proud. And that I will do! Bumps~yes...I expect them...and I will climb over them! So rather than ignore, I'm being honest and blogging it. Phew! I feel better. Surgery is not your magic pill. Never think you won't have to work for it, because that's misleading. The first year is a breeze and here is where the real battle lies~forever. It's up to me to use this to get real, honest and take care of me.
