On March 12 my body fat was 75.1%, weight was 301 lbs, BMI
56.59, bra was a 46 M cup, wore a size 32. 8 months later body fat is 60.3%
(14.8% down), weight is 293.7lbs (7.3lbs down), BMI is 55.49 (1.1 down), and my
bra is a 43 G (dropped 6 cups...squeeee!), down to a size 28 (2 down). I perfer
weight lifting (can't wait til doctor releases me), walking, lap swimming,
water zumba (I get to start again tomorrow!), modified yoga (otherwise can't
get off of floor lol). I have learned that if I don't log what I eat, I do not
lose percentages or weight that week. I get more excited now about inches lost
than weight lost. If I get too excited and weight lift more than I should I
hurt my back (twice lol). So we're going slow and steady, because I want to
keep this off and stay healthy.

Light Duty
Got released to light duty exercise by doctor (darn you back). So we get to start all over again. Starting walking on treadmill (too much snow at the moment for outside walking lol), lap swimming at the Y, and modified yoga. We'll give that two weeks and see how it feels. Rushing into things is how I keep hurting myself, so let's try slow lol.

Slut shaming
I am not into slut shaming in any way, shape, or form. A person's sexuality or lack thereof is not for you judge, not for your entertainment, or to make you a more "moral" person.

Dear adult male relative
Dear adult male relative, I am glad that we are allowed to have different options. You unfriending me on facebook does not offend me. However it does concern me that you have the ability to force your girlfriend to unfriend me. You don't like what I post on facebook, I respect that. However if I am supporting another male relative on their views (on their page) it does not give you the right to tag and attack me. It baffles me how you can only be a few years older than I and be so anti-female, oppressing of sexuality and any view that differs from yours. I am ecstatic that I had positive, open-minded, and approachable adults to talk to growing up. You made me feel dirty and shame for my sexuality. Thank you. I am using this experience to teach my son how to be a proper gentleman.

6 month results = pants issues
I'll admit I have been fighting with the same 10 pounds back
and forth, but it is staying off! ;p My binge eating is under control. I have
been going to the gym 3-4 times a week, increased my weight lifting routine,
walking around the neighborhood and taking the bus, added swimming twice a
week (world's laziest lap swimmer) and for the first time in my life my pant
fell down in public (without my help lmao). Here the measurements from March 4,
2012 to June 3, 2012. Currently at 298.7 which is saying something for me
because I was at 330 this time last year. Woohoo!
Neck 16
Waist 48-46= -2
Hips65-62 = -3
Chest53-51= -2
Chest Band46-43= -3
Thigh33-28 = -5
Upper Arm20-18= -2
Calf 22
Body Fat 75.1-71.6= -3.5%
BMI 57.6-56.4

Please do not tell me I wouldn't know what it feels like
Please do not tell me I wouldn’t know what it feels like
If enough people shout things at you, you start to wonder if they’re right
I know what it’s like to eat all a whole bottle of pills
To have my stomach pumped the day before 8th grade started
They talked far more about my body
Than they did my issues
Then I watched Bananas in Pajamas, back to bed I went
It was the awesome part of my day
In my excitement I may have forgotten to mention it was an anime
Mom came home with wine after the shrink meeting
I made sure my son does too
I’ve run one with a bike, cars hurt when they hit you
And people would stop talking about me
He didn’t like my response
Call you very unoriginal names
Just because what they thought what they heard was the truth
When I asked my mom about it, grounded for two weeks
I looked it up in the dictionary afterwards, should have looked it up first
From working the medieval fair
And to swoon over men who wear kilts
He gave me a ride on an atv on the beach and told me about his mother
I got a long lecture from the assistant band director about strangers
I was told to act like a girl and get a boyfriend
I was informed it wasn’t his concern
I didn’t want to bother them with my pain and confusion
I didn’t want to appear to be weak
I would have been there with bells on
I don’t like to see people suffer
People told me it was good that I was trying to hide that I am a lesbian whore
I can’t believe I let their doubt and lies eat me for 3 days
He accepted, respected, and loved me
He didn’t want to change me
I got my hair done, wore a dress, high heels too
I felt pretty inside my own head for once
So does our 9 year old son
My child is kind, healthy and happy
Please do not tell me I wouldn’t know what it feels like
All I heard was gay, lesbian, whore, or go get a boyfriend
I didn’t feel like I belonged in any of those
Nobody talked about another choice
Please do not tell me I wouldn't know what it feels like
I am accepted for who I am
I am respected for who I am
He doesn't care if I have a crush on Sean Connery and Queen Latifah
I know what it’s like to doubt yourself, because other people doubt you
It doesn’t matter how happy you are with yourselfIf enough people shout things at you, you start to wonder if they’re right
Please do not tell me I wouldn’t know what it feels like
Because I was afraidI know what it’s like to eat all a whole bottle of pills

I’ve had a popular boy tell me he would make me a womanAnd people would stop talking about me
He didn’t like my response
Please do not tell me I wouldn’t know what it feels like
I know what it’s like to have people spit in your faceCall you very unoriginal names
Just because what they thought what they heard was the truth
Please do not tell me I wouldn’t know what it feels like
I got called a cunt in marching band practice because I shaved off my hairWhen I asked my mom about it, grounded for two weeks
I looked it up in the dictionary afterwards, should have looked it up first
Please do not tell me I wouldn’t know what it feels like
I’ve learned more about love, respect, and acceptanceFrom working the medieval fair
And to swoon over men who wear kilts
Please do not tell me I wouldn’t know what it feels like
I got an ego boost from a Cuban man on my band trip, he flirted with meHe gave me a ride on an atv on the beach and told me about his mother

Back on my feet again...The Babies playing in the background ;p
Caught a lovely case of plantar warts on the bottom of both feet last fall. Note to all don't walk bare foot in the Y. Finally got the all clear from my doc to start exercising again and clear feet. Got the invite to join BLC #13 Pistachio Pirates! I enjoy a group challenge so this will a joy and a hoot! I'm joining at the halfway point, but it is better than at no point!
