Under 200

I weigh myself at least every Sunday (sometimes more often). This morning I weighed less than 200 pounds! I am so happy. I had a goal of reaching 197 by the end of the month. That will probably not happen, but I am ok with that.

For My Health

I have been losing weight over the last 6 months or so. In fact when I went to the doctor for a physical, I was told I had lost 15 pounds since my last doctor appointment (in January). I was so happy and excited. I called my step-mother to tell her my good news. I told my husband as soon as he got home from church. I even told my best friend when she came to town. I really believed that this meant that my health was improving, and I felt better than I have in years.
Two days ago, I received a call from my doctor's office with the results. The good news is that I can lower my dosage for my thyroid medicine (no more being treated like a drug addict when picking up two pills at a time). The bad news was I am now anemic and have a fatty liver. This means one more pill (iron) along with an 1800 calorie per day diet and 3-4 hours of exercise per week. I have been counting my calories and taking walks for about 6 months. This is how I have been losing weight. I think I need to get more serious about it though.
I am scared, but I am motivated. I will lose weight. I will reverse the fatty liver. I will document my success.
