Announcement: I have now lost 20 pounds, from my highest weight in Jan. 2009 until now. I AM PROUD OF MYSELF.
My clothes are all baggy. I can button sweaters and jackets that I used to wear open with a tshirt under. I have gotten all new pants since last year. My skirts' waistbands are all loose.
(By the way, I give all the credit to the South Beach Diet. The principles I learned there have made all the difference in the way I eat. Mostly by eating lots of vegetables and some lean protein, and skimping or eliminating all the pasta and breads, all that weight has come off.)
The bad news: I am going on a cruise in two weeks. So goodbye baggy clothing. It was nice while it lasted.
AND Here is a link to a great talk by Elder Dallin Oaks, one of the apostles in our church. He gave this speech to the Harvard Law School on Feb. 26, 2010 http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/news-releases-stories/fundamental-premises-of-our-faith-talk-given-by-elder-dallin-h-oaks-at-harvard-law-school
Congrats on the weight loss. It's SO hard! I need to lose 20 pounds too. Maybe you'll inspire me to really do it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love Dallin Oaks. I feel I know him since he was our beloved BYU President while we were students. I sent that article on to a Christian friend. Thanks for that.
