Ladies, I DID IT !!!!!

Weighed myself today...165.

December of 2000 I was 265 !

Oh my GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I 'knew' something was going to be good about my weight today, because yesterday I weighed a flat 166, and went clothes shopping. I haven't worn tank tops in over 15 years, but yesterday bought two STRING HALTER TOPS - HALTER TOPS!!! - and a pair of shorts. We went to Border's Book's where, Hey Shawna !!!! - I bought The Fat Girl's Guide to Life, a couple of CD's ( new OutKast and a chick named Jem who sounds like a cross between Dido and Sarah McLachlan)and the new Maxim mag with the top 100 hotties (I love Maxim - it's like Cosmo for men, but I like it anyway.)

I had this feeling I should be rewarding myself for something, although at the time I did not know what. We went to din din at Uno's and I had a steak and shrimp, some salad, buffalo wings....I had yogurt for breakfast and a very light lunch while shopping because I knew we were going to eat out.

And the scale said 165 today.

First of all, I want to THANK ALL OF YOU that have been supportive, welcoming, and friendly - you make my day so much brighter and funnier, CERTAINLY more entertaining and I feel that as we all have something in common (BZZT!Sorry Karrie!)and we can relate to each other. I don't think this would have been as easy for me over the past few weeks if I didn't have someplace to go and vent about the size of my butt, my over-achiever dietician who I keep at arm's length, and food food food glorious food.

THANK YOU ! You guys are the best.

Amy, who is positively barking her head off right now.

AAAAAMMMMMYYYYY!!!!! You did it!!!! 100 pounds! That's so awesome. You must be on cloud nine right now. As a matter of fact, I think I hear you barking right now! Will you shut up already? LMAO. Congratulations. You deserve to have a celebration.

And you're welcome (that is, if you were including me on that thank you lol). I'm glad you came over here. You bring a lot of life and laughter to this board.

Thank, Sarah ! I'm still in shock but this does wonders for my mental status - hell, I might not need the Effexor anymore ! I have low grade chronic depression and general anxiety disorder (most likely my job) but I wasn't feeling as good as I used to, so I decided to kick it up a notch.

I really love this board, and get alot out of it, because I love to help pepole and be supportive, and when it's reciprocated, it's even better.

I'll be back shortly, me and best friend are going for a walkie....

Thank you, as all of you are an inspiration to me...Humor, good attitudes, shared experiences are what makes this a great place, and at the main part of this board, it states that 'sometimes you feel alone in losing weight and balh blah blah...'

Not anymore.

Big cyber smooches (me and the rattie sisters)

Amy, who thinks rat kisses are very nice.
