WoW it's been awhile...

Well, I've been lazy and busy and my life has been absolutely crazy!
I finally have time to breathe.
I'm down 140 pounds since I last wrote.
So since last January I now weigh 200 pounds and still losing!
I went from a size 26 pants to a 12/14 *they don't make clothes like they used to*
From a 2x/3x top to a 14/16.
Ever notice how even though you lose weight you body image in your mind is so bad
when you're shopping you still go to a way bigger size than you actually are?
I don't like trying on clothes so I've bought a few things and had to bring them back
because once I put them on I could slide out of them without unbuttoning them.
SAD!
I'm still wearing my larger work clothes. It's too expensive to refab my closet
just yet.
I've been given a whole mess of tops from a friend who hasn't lost weight but kept
them "just in case".
I've done that with my 26's, 24's, 22's, and 20's.
I've finally decided that without the steroids or snacking I won't need them again
for a long time.
I gave away a whole mess of sweaters and jeans to a friend who is also an ungodly 6 feet tall.
So instead of Goodwill it went to the Britton household.
I love swapping clothes now, it's addictive. It's like shopping without opening my wallet,
which I must say I love!
I'm stingy, frugal, you have a word for it and that's me. I wasn't always this way.
In 97 I would only buy my shoes in Cambridge Square in Boston so not only did I have to
pay sales tax, I also bought crazy boots for 180 and thought, ah, it's only a hundred and 80 dollars.
Not anymore, that's for sure. When you marry for love it doesn't pad your bank account.
Anyway...
So hopefully life will settle down, but I don't think it will anytime soon.
They did a biopsy on my stomach tumor and it's stage 4. Lucky me.
I've done about 46 weeks of radiation and I have 2 months to go, 5 times a week.
I'm going for a consult at MGH to see if I qualify for their lazer knife radiation.
Let's prayer together that I do. It would be nice to only have to go for radiation once a week for 4 weeks instead of all the times I've gone.
It's sad when you know the janitors name because he's cleaned up your puke on numerous time.
Sad but true.
Wish me luck, I think I'm going to need it.
