Yesterday, we wormed Wile E. In order to do this, we had to find out his weight. So I got the scale, and Greg weighed himself and then picked up Wile E. and I read the number.
I was totally horrified.
You see, the number on the scale when my husband was holding a German Shepard was one of my goal weight steps.
Ye Gads.
I’ve been taking the weight loss thing in 25 pound increments. I’ve already lost one unit of 25, now I’m working on the next one. And the number on the scale was that goal.
It really puts things in perspective. Once I meet that goal, I’ll definitely need to lose 25 MORE pounds before I can put down the German Shepard I have apparently been carrying, in fat.
On the bright side, I stepped it up a bit at the gym today. I’m not at a point where I am running or anything like that, but I can tell the difference in my fitness level. Despite my weight, I was able to walk up the hill to downtown without feeling winded at all. I hardly noticed I was doing it, which was cool.
On the not so bright side, the withdrawal thing is no fun. I had to back off a bit because I developed IBS, an overactive bladder and a whole host of other problems including waking up yelling in the night. When I looked it all up on the computer, guess what the treatment for these things is? Ativan! So apparently, you GET these things when you are quitting. So I’m hoping that going slower will help. Hopefully the doctor (who wants me to quit in a three month period) will understand.
Anyway.
This might sound a little out there, but I have been doing the raw diet for almost 30 days now. I’ve been losing weight and feel great. For someone who has never tried it, I know it sounds weird. But if you have some time read up on it a little bit. It’s great for weight loss. And congrats on the progress you’ve made.

25 pounds is not an easy thing to lose, you should be proud of that. Wish I could lose 25, does wonders for your heart! You’ll get there, and then you can tell me how to as well!

Hey, that’s how I weight my cat too… It must be the universal pet weighing method.
My cat and I are both very light by nature though, so I’ll duck out of this comments thread really quick like.
