Determination

determination

1: a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficultWhat he lacked in talent he made up for in determination.dogged/fierce/steely/stubborn determination

So I have actually gotten to the point in my journey that I had an unexpected and delightful conundrum

it’s time to set my final weight loss goal folks!!! Can you believe it? Well I can’t! I’m down lower than I have been since the Stone Age, that much is true

I don’t know whether to just keep eating as I am and let my body decide or try to halt in another 9 pounds and it makes for a nice evening 100 pounds. I am feeling strong and so much healthier than I thought possible. I’m gonna be a bit wrinkly like that once breezy (but dang you had to wash it) cotton summer outfit, that you can’t seem to iron (I’m 56 and I have stretched that fabric a bit too far) and while thats ok, I don’t want to look like a shriveled up mess.

I didn’t expect to have this decision. But I’m super grateful to have it.

I’m also a bit hurt (pure hilarity here) that my renpho still says I’m obese. 🤦‍♀️😂❤️

I decided to reach out to my specialist. He said yes that it was a good question, and it normally takes a 5% to 10% loss to help with the liver stuff. Since I had obviously blown by both of those, to go for the next reasonable goal and get to a healthy BMI.

Dammit! I hiked he’d say darn girl! You’re good! Well I knew I had a bit to go, so I concede. Another 10 to 15 pounds.

He did say though and I quote “I am still so impressed with your determination here.” Made me feel pretty damn good about myself. Did I mention I love this doctor?

Lord it’s been a wonderful day. My sweetie took me clothes shopping, so I can stop looking like a homeless person, then out to dinner to watch the sunset in a gorgeous place. And I actually asked for more photos that aren’t just of my forehead.

As my shirt says, Welcome to the good life.

Love, Sue
