what I think of when I look at this picture! That's waaayyy scarier than Uncle Fester could have ever been!!I've lost 100 (and a quarter!) pounds as of today! Only 30 more to go to get to my goal...and yes, I see the irony of using the words "quarter" and "pound" when talking about dieting...after all, it was all those Quarter Pounders, Big Macs, Big Boys, Fatburgers...hmmm, I guess you really are what you eat!!
Thank God I met Cheri Bianchini, the owner of The Healthy Way...my Earth Angel, my healthy eating mentor...when she first took my measurments, she had to use the extra large measuring tape...now, not only 100 pounds, but I've lost about 110 inches ...and that was just my neck (ba-da-boom!)
The one picture that's really frightening is the one I posted a couple blogs down. I looked like the Michelin Man's illigitimate son! People didn't think I ate all the Girl Scout
Cookies...they thought I ate all the Girl Scouts!! (ba-da-bing!) Even Cheri agreed I looked like an advertisement for really sturdy lawn chairs! Feel free to scroll down and post your own one-liners on that one!When I see the profile I'm always amazed at how much back I have...and I don't mean my butt, I knew that was big, I mean my actual back!
I did have high cholesterol and high blood pressure, but even now those numbers are lower and under control! I was lucky I didn't have diabetes or bad knees or any number of other health problems! And to answer the question I often get "YES"... Yes I do feel better and have much more energy...and I don't require a nap after every meal...and I don't get winded just opening my eyes!!
100 pounds...I'm not sure I can even lift a 100 pounds now...good thing I don't have to!
Thanks Cheri!
