11 month update - MAJOR LIFE CHANGE AHEAD - start Nursing School

[Guest guest]

11 months ago my life changed completely.

I was hopeless, helpless, unhealthy, unhappy and forever doomed to a life with

no joy, no happiness.

Today, I am 166 lbs. LIGHTER - I have gone from a size 30W (TIGHT) - 48B bra, 10

Wide shoe, 8 inch bracelet/watch, 18 inch neck. I am now in Junior 7/9 tops, 34B

bra, 35/30 jeans, size 10 dresses/skirts and 12 in pants (still a little hippy),

I wear a size 8 1/2 Medium shoe (with 4 inch heels thank you very much), 6 1/2

inch wrist, size 6 ring and can wear a 16 inch necklace that belonged to my mom

before she passed away.

I start school on Tuesday to become an RN - I always wanted to be a nurse -

never could imagine it or dream it - today all things are possible.

I participate in sports, love to work out, swim - lay in the sun (YES, I do wear

a bathing suit - size Medium)

Life is good - I can clean my house without it killing me to get down on the

floor and get up without help. I cross my legs, sit in the smallest of chairs

without the fear of breaking it. I weigh less than my husband - I am smaller

now that I was 20 years ago when I met him. My BMI was 51 - it is now 25.3.
