Shocked at my loss

[Talking Hands]

I haven't really been trying that much on my diet. I got on the scale yesterday just to see what I had gained. Well over the last year I have gone from 225 to 179. I was shocked to say the least. Still have another 50 or 60 to go. Slow and steady seems to work. Less carbs but not really Atkins since I tend towards ketoacidosis. Now I know why I have been crashing so often lately. Time to readjust the insulin and other meds.

Congratulations!! I'm also impressed that your life is NOT ruled by the scale - you really didn't check your weight for a YEAR???

46 pounds gone - that's awesome!!!

 

[Talking Hands]

Yes I did check it during the year but last time I checked I was stuck at 197 and figured I was stuck forever. I can't really ever remember being thin ever. My Dad's nickname for me was "Lard Butt" He was heavy as well as was Mom until she became alcoholic.

Congratulations on your loss!!! I'm sorry that your father ever called you a nasty name. Once, my mom told me I was "disgusting" because I couldn't cross my legs. Now that I'm 110 lbs. lighter I'm "disgusting" because I'm "too thin" (I'm not, I'll just never win with her ) Again, congratulations! You're doing a terrific job!

Congratulations! That IS a pleasant surprise!

I will never understand a parent who gives a child a nickname like that. I was a fat kid and when the kids called me names I go home and my parents looked at me like I was the prettiest thing in the world....

I do the same for my son. It's the least we can do for them since the world can be so cruel. His stupid father started calling him "Fat Boy" when he was four. Too late, by then he already had his sense of self and his father didn't have the power to pull him down.

God bless,

Robinrs
