Smaller than my husband finally!

It's been awile since I checked in here. I see so many new people going on to happier healthier lives. I always keep in mind however the few we have lost here and the fact that this is no small thing or easy struggle. But anything worth having and is of real value does not come without risk or sacrifice. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would see 165 again. I am a size 9/10 and am smaller than my daughter and my husband. I think I have close to 20 pounds of excess skin and stuff which is placed mostly on my upper arme and thighs which a smaller actual bust ,waist and hip. I taked to a woman who was 400 pounds yesterday. I get so frustrated when I see such denial in these people who have the option and the power to go ahead and have a healthier happier life but make the choice not to. Oh... she says... I would be fine if I could just stop eating.. I don't need the surgery. Meanwhile she is calling my daughter in law to come clean her house becuse she can't move and has too many health problems. Additionally she is newly a Canadian citizen whichs means her surgery could be paid free by OHIP. I feel very sad for her. I am however very happy for me! The other day a saleslady looked at me incredulously and commented... but you don't need to lose weight. Hahahahahahahaha if she nly knew. I never though anyone would ever say that to me in my whole life. Anyway heres hoping I can lose 5 more pounds by Christmas to reach my goal of 160. It's funny by the charts I am still obese. I need to be 148 because I am so petite to be overweight. But I am happy and that can't be measured by any scale. Thats what counts.
