happy anniversary to me

my goal is to have the next 25-30 pounds off by christmas 6 months away.
i am loosing about 3-4 pounds a month, last month i did not loose at all. it was fun loosing 14 pounds a month when i started out, but it is no big deal, i weigh once a month and take what the scale gives me, i always weigh in uniform and uniform shoes, so i know that weighs about 3 pounds or maybe more but i just go by the scales in the weight room here at work.



i am eating no carbs today, had a big 4th... of july... no big deal, i cheat all the time now but not sugar or bread, i had bbq beans and slaw, ribs and salad, the best bbq beans in the world considering i never liked them before, amazing how good frozen english peas taste... i could never taste before.... lol.... and had a few slices of home grown red tomatos and fried green tomatoes ( I fry evey thing breaded in parasian cheese, ) try it it is wonderful, i am eating fried catfish fried in it now, it is brown and crusty, awesome tasting too, add some salt and paparika ,

I'm so dumb, when you were talking about being a junkie, I thought you meant junk food.
ha!
it's great you turned your life around in many ways!

Your before and after pics are like mother and daughter! You look so much younger and so beautiful. Congratulations on everything you have achieved. You must be so proud and you must find people don't recognise you anymore!

i am still a maintaing.... my size 10 are tight today, i stay between 139-149
pounds, if i go over 150 I cut out all sugar and flour, as of now, for the last 16 months i just watch what i eat. today i ate some junk but i really do try and do eat more healthy than i did 80 pounds heavier.

thanks for all the privte messages and sorry i have not been around, i resinged from my job after being mentally stomped on for two years, i really think my supv was sooooo jealous that i lost and maintained, any way it was impossible to work for her anylonger and after 18 years, i got up and just walked out,
i was fixing to go postal. lol
now i am happy, free, making good money, but will have to give up the harley and file bankrupsy, she also made it impossible for me to get on at another police agency. i hate her and i really mean that... i have no plans to forgive her, she put me through **** and i am just now realizing it...
any way thanks again and keep the pm coming, i miss you guys and will need to journal again...
