12 Weeks

And what a LONG 12 weeks it's been!  Especially after kidney stones last weekend.  I have never felt pain like that in my life and hope to God I never have to again.  BUT, I look over what I've been through in the past 3 months and wouldn't think twice about doing it ALL over again to be where I'm at now.

3 Month Stats:
78.7 lbs lost
14 inches lost in my waist
11 inches lost in my hips
33.5 BMI  (started at 46.7!)

I am just flabbergasted by how healthy I have become and knowing I have gotten myself this far with the help of my new tool.  I LOVE my new tool!

Do I still enjoy eating?  Absolutely!  Who doesn't?   But food has become something I eat simply to survive and refuel, not something that my life revolves around. It's just a matter of appreciating the food that is healthy for you and realizing the food that isn't healthy for you isn't worth it.  It feels amazing to not be consumed by such a horrible addiction!

I have posted pictures below showing the change, but before I go, I must quote Benjamin Franklin on one of my favorite sayings, "One should eat to live, not live to eat."
