Paint clothes


I had fun with this today! The purple shirt used to fit me and it was my paint shirt. I may have stretched it a little bit, but I don’t think that I did. Then I needed some bottoms to go with it while I was painting. I found my son’s paint pants in the same drawer. Yes, my 17 year old who is 6’4” and I thought I wonder.  After I took the knot out of the draw string, they slid right on. 😮😦I just about couldn’t believe it. I asked my son what he thought of my paint pants, he said “I think that I have worn those.” 🤣😂

How Did I Do It?

Image
So instead of continuing my narrative this time, I decided that I would answer two questions that I have been asked many times since my first post. 1) How much weight have I really lost? 2) How did I do it?  So far, year to date, I have lost 117 pounds out of 200. Yes my goal is to lose at least 200 pounds. I will be less than half of my starting size. If you remember, I started at 375 pounds. When I finally get down to 175, I will no longer be considered obese. At that time I will then decide if I want to drop another 10 or stay at 175. I was 225 when Daniel and I were married.  I didn’t think of myself as over weight back then, and Daniel loved me for who I was. I was a lot stronger back then compared to now as well, but soon the weight piled on.  How did I lose the weight? My whole life I was told don’t eat the fat filled foods. “Eat the diet dressing for a salad.” “Don’t eat so much bacon, that much fat isn’t good for you.”  “Black olives have too much fat in them, don’t eat that m

The Beginning of My Weight Loss Journey

Image
This is a sad picture in many ways. This Is what I looked at my heaviest weight. My heaviest weight was 375 pounds. I had given up on ever losing weight because nothing I had tried had ever worked. I hated pictures of myself, so I always deleted the pictures that I wasn’t hidden behind someone. January of 2019 I quit eating pancakes and waffles and I quit drinking Dr. Pepper unless I was on a trip and needed something to drink.  In June of 2019, I found this picture on Facebook that a friend of mine had taken and shared. I cried when I saw this picture. I knew that I had to find something that worked. I started researching Keto in general and found that there are many versions of Keto, but the basic theme is low carbs. I started playing with the idea of less carbs and not fully committing to it yet when someone recommended that I look up a Facebook group “Eat Like A Bear”. I started reading all of the free information on the sight. The units were full of information. I read every story

She Didn't Even Recognize Me

Image
  So in just 12 months, I went from a size 32 to a size 16.   Then last Saturday I had an appointment to get my hair cut. I have been going to the same lady for the last three years, but with the Covid shutdowns, it had been 7 or 8 months since she cut my hair. (My husband cut it for me after everything shutdown)  When I walked in, she asked if she could help me. My response was that I have a 12:30 appointment.  She then asked me for my name. I told her that I was Tonia Walker. She told me to go ahead and take a seat and she would be with me in a few moments. After just a moment, she asked me what was different about me. I proudly told her that I had lost 130 pounds in just over a year.  When she heard this, she and the other customer in the chair both gasped and she informed me that she hadn’t recognized me at all when I had come in. So they asked how I did it.  Little did I know that they had just been talking about how they both needed to loose some weight.  I showed the cus
