Oy, my stomach
My innards hurt. I've been pooping all day, lovely oil slicks. I honestly didn't think I was eating too much fat, but maybe I need to scale it down some since I've dropped my cheese intake. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it's got me wanting to spend my days in bed chugging ice water. I'm going to talk to my PCP soon about it. Usually when I have stomach issues, they resolve themselves in a couple of days, if not a day, but I've been aching since Monday and that ain't right.
Anyway, if you'd had your calculators out and were paying close attention, you would have maybe noticed I've now lost 154.2 lbs. I can't even believe it. It's all surreal, the clothes I bought 6 weeks ago are too big now. I need to poke more holes in my belt. I adjusted the seat in my car closer to the steering wheel for the first time since surgery. I got a call from friend I haven't seen in two years. He's leaving a job of 6 years to finally start his own company, since I've been doing just that for two years, he wants to get together in the near future for lunch so that I might share some pointers. This is one of the many people who have no idea I had surgery and I'm not even sure there is a big enough difference from when I last saw him for him to really take note. I have no idea, but it's been on my mind, if I tell him then the word will surely get out to our many mutual friends. I know he'd be ecstatic for me, he's a genuine good-hearted soul, but right now, I don't really want the attention. I almost feel like I don't want to see anybody til I'm done, y'know? Is that weird?

Sweetie, trust me: a 154.2 pound loss is going to be "noticeable" on ANYONE. I'm so happy for you. And proud of you, even though I don't know you.
And I know -- sometimes it just seems easier to deal with people's reactions once we're DONE with losing. The experience is complicated enough given our own reactions, eh?
But I *am* proud of you, and you inspire me daily -- NOT because of how much you've lost but because of your commitment and dedication to making the most of this opportunity.

Yeah what Deluzy said... sheesh, you come to post something just like that and she's already beaten me to it... and a whole lot more eloquently than I could probably have done it!
So I'll just say - you are simply amazing. You inspire me to look at what I'm doing so that I too can do as well.
Keep up the great work Tia - you are already a succcess story!
For some reason I can't comment to your latest post but I wanted to say...
Hot damn! Wow! What a difference Tia - you look fantastic.
