Well , 1 year done on my journey to my ideal weight. It is hard to believe that 52 WIs ago, I was 299 pounds. I met my mini goal of 75 pounds gone in 1 year plus 2 pounds extra! This is a huge milestone for me as my first time around this is where I quit WW (a 75 pound loss) after having surgery. I thought I could get the last 5 pounds off by myself. Well that never happening and the weight slowly crept back on plus.
Am I proud of myself? YOU BET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My new final goal is to real my goal weight of 175 pounds by my 2 year anniversary. That's 47 pounds for this year and I know I can do it! If I can do what I have accomplished to date, anyone can. I was the classic couch potato but not anymore.
Hope to get a new pic taken soon. I am forever the photographer but never the subject. I don't like my pic being taken. Probably because I still have a hard time seeing the slimmer me. Everyone is noticing but when I look at myself, I still don't see it. I see it in my clothes and the numbers on the scale but I guess it is just having that mental picture in my head for 40+ years, of a fat woman, that it is a hard thing to break. It will happen, I'm sure, but what a great day it is today.
I take things one day at a time. There are good and bad days, but it is all good each and every day because I am healthier everyday, every hour. Onederland....... here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Onwards and Downwards to Goal!
My Journey to a Thinner, Healthier Me
About Me
- tweetybrrd
- I was born June 18th, 1961 on Father's Day to Earl & Martha Sibbald. Was raised in the township of Wainfleet where my parents still live in the house my father built. I have 1 younger brother. I graduated Port Colborne High School in 1978 and went on to Sheridan college where I studied animated cartooning. Do to major problem with my knees and many surgeries, I never completed my college education at Sheridan. I took piano lessons when I was younger and even won a Gold Medal in the Niagara Falls Kawanis Music Festival. I went on to learn how to play many instruments including, baritone sax, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar and bit of the banjo. I went on the road with a band from Oshawa for 3 years, playing all over Ontario before moving back to Niagara, living in Welland and played bass guitar in a few local bands for about 15 years. I Love to draw & paint. I am self taught in crocheting and I love all kinds of crafty things to do.
