Overweight!!

I lost two pounds this week, putting me at 181. For my height, well my height rounded down to 5'6" since I am around 5'6" and 3/4 of an inch. The next two weeks will be rough, since I gained a total of three pounds last month during those slow metabolism weeks. But I hope to maintain my overweight status. Yes, I probably still look obese, but by the numbers I am overweight. Twenty six pounds overweight, to be exact. After being 100 pounds overweight for so long, that is really cool. It wasn't until well into this journey that I discovered I was never actually morbidly obese. I know at least one of my doctor's had referred to me as morbidly obese, but by the charts I was always at least 20 pounds away from that. And I know I look like I weigh more than I do, since I have no legs, no butt, a slight shortage in the boob area, and even my arms are not that big for my weight. But to be overweight and not obese is very motivating! And, I am one pound from a 75 pound loss!

Now I have to wrap my head around this. I am so close to the 170's. I don't even remember being in the 170's. It had to be somewhere in my senior year of high school. I still always forget that I don't have to go to the Woman's department. And I keep picking up larger sizes of clothing, and being surprised when they are too big. I am going to have to buy some fall clothes soon. I think I am still in woman's sizes in jeans, but not tops. I may get into a misses 16, but I will find out when I go looking for jeans. My proportions still haven't evened out. Though I have lost in the middle, I have also lost in my legs. Thank God skinny jeans are back!

So, let's hope I don't have to announce in the next week or two that I am obese again. May I never be back there again!!
