Vanity Pounds

Feb 2013

Today I went to the doctor. While I was there, I asked him what he thought of my goal weight of 160 - another 30 lbs. He said it was fine. He also said that, since I don't carry my weight in my belly and that my labs are all fine, he would consider me to be at a healthy weight now. So, add to that the fact that I retook the TSFL Health Assessment quiz and scored 102 (actually 109 the second time), I can officially say that I am now working on VANITY pounds! What an amazing thing! At the beginning of my weight loss journey 6 years ago, long before I had heard of TSFL, I had just gotten out of the hospital with a severe case of cellulitis in my entire left leg. There was concern of losing my foot. Even last summer, before starting TSFL, I scored as unhealthy on the assessment. I still have the same family (part of the assessment), but the rest has all changed.

I am just so blessed to be at this point in my life.  I am 61, healthy, active and my doctor said so.  Can't argue with that, now, can I?  Not to mention that his scale actually weighed me LESS with clothes on than mine did naked.  How often does that happen?  So, of course, I recorded THAT weight as my official weigh in number.
