Is it me or do you have a hard time really relating to people asking you or saying MAN YOU LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT... I went to get my drivers license renewed today and the officer looked at my old license and then at me and said the above.... then asked the hows and whys of it! It is easy to answer the questions of how and why but dealing with the reaction or acknowledgement of the weight loss sometimes is hard to know what to say exactly... I know I am weird! So now how do I handle the shocked reactions ??????????????????? Cause I just am at a loss!

By the way..... My answers to the qustions are.......

The answer to how:

is prayer,
counting calories religiously,
walking,
journaling

The answer to why:

is didn't want to die (had high blood pressure, had alot of water retention, have a family history of cancer and diabetes) --- wanted to be around to hold my grandkids;
my husband ---- was afraid that he might find someone else because he had to have been REVOLTED at the site of my BIG FAT FLABBY BODY! (now it is a skinny, flabby body LOL);
I was embarassed for my family to be seen with me in public esp in restaurant, pool, or beach!
I wanted to be able to hike with my Boy Scouts and camp and not be miserable.... now I can thank God!

Thanks be to you oh God; you showed me the right path to journey down and now because of you I am 67lbs lighter and in much better shape (I love to hike and walk now).... Thank you God for your grace and mercy on this old fat sinner --- thank you for showing me the way and forgiving me when I sin and fall short --- I do it on a daily basis! Thank you for my life. I your son's holy name amen and amen!
