Excitement rant

[Aribay1 198]

Mainly because I'm sure my friends are tired of me talking about how excited I am in my weight los journey here are some things that I'm excited about!

1) I weight 201lbs! So close to onederland!!!

2) which would mean only 40lbs more to hitting my doctors goal for me (a healthy BMI)

3) this summer might be the first summer I consider wearing a bikini it's weird to be excited about but I feel like I have more summer options now!

4) I'm just excited to be skinny! And healthy! And happy!

Anyone else have these excitements constintly running through their heads !

AHHHHH!

Twenty-two months out here.

Excited thoughts? ALL THE FREAKING TIME. I hope it never gets old.

It's just amazing to feel decently comfortable in my skin. I still have a small gut (compared to my huge spare tire before) and I think once that's gone I'll feel even better. I'm on cloud 9 over here!

It's like you read my dream journal, because everything you mentioned passes through the windmills of my mind so many times a day I'm considering charging a toll.

Congratulations and never stop spreading the sunshine as its inspiration for those of us still waiting on the other side.

Can't wait for my own surgery.

Haha thanks!

And trust me it'll be here before you know it then you'll be so inpatient and want the weight off but remember hard work pays off!!

I'm with you. Things are going well. I'm getting down close to my "best ever" weight.

I get dramatic reactions from people who have not seen me in months. That's always an affirmation.

I think I am on my third belt and I only have two holes left. Second or third pair of jeans and I am going to need a new pair soon. I dug some old "too small" clothes out of the garage that I had forgotten about and they were way too big. Almost all of it went to goodwill.

I'm about 20 lbs from my "best ever" clothes. They are all from "normal" stores. I remember thinking how cool it was to walk into Eddie Bauer or just about anywhere else and be able to buy something.

The height/weight charts say my ideal weight should be in the 180's. That was absurdly laughable before. Now it seems just optimistic.

Oh, and I called about getting a life insurance policy and it looks like I may now qualify even with the weight loss being so recent. Next year, I should be able to get a really good rate.

Another thing, my kids' friends no longer see me as the "fat dad". They'd never say anything, but I know it was embarrassing.

I no longer have to buy an extra seat on airplanes and seat belt extenders are completely unnecessary.

I haven't been to an amusement park yet, but I know I could fit into any ride easily now.

Yeah, it rocks.
