I finally broke 300 lbs!!   I haven't been less than 300 lbs in 5 years.  I'm soooo excited!   All of my pants are way to big and literally falling off of me... lol.    I need to go buy some new ones to get me through the holidays.    My family keeps asking me what I want for Christmas.  I told them just get me gift certificates so that I can replace clothes as I need them.   Today is my daughter's birthday.  She's 25.  Last night the family took her to dinner and I did really well.   I ordered a cup of chili and ate about 1/3 of it.  I also took a few bites of my dad's ribs and some chips and salsa.   So, I think I did pretty well.   Starting weight:  383 lbs (8/15/07 surgery)Todays weight:  298 llbs Total loss:  85 lbs.
