I've known for a loooong time that it was time to change. Weird how we put off stuff like that. I think the kicker was when I realized I weigh as much as my mother. An 18 yr old and a 47 yr old should not weigh the same LOL. Though we were both 220, I am about 6 inches taller than her so I did not look anywhere close to what she does.. It was still weird. Even if my mom wasn't the same weight as me, 220 is just a lot of weight. I was tired of holding in my stomach no matter where I went and it not making much of a difference anymore. I was grossed out and embarassed that the short sleeved tee shirt I got for work last summer was too tight and showed too much in January... 6 months and I had put on THAT much? Wow. That's when I looked at myself, then at my treadmill, and said "I need to do something.." Then I did low carb and I'm still doing both, I feel great, and I'm looking better. Every weekend this guy I work with (who, is 30, but we're good friends) says something different. The frist weekend it was "Your a$$ looks smaller, how much have you lost girl?" and then today it was "Your face is a lot thinner, you're doing a good job". He's a little chunky too, but he said he can't give up his Burrito Supremes from Taco Bell LOL.. they are good. I also had a lady tell me (after about a month of not seeing her) that I looked much slimmer. I'm still fat but I have lost about 26 pounds, its about time someone noticed!!!
