I have not mentioned to many peoria, but since Christmas, I have making a difficult and long climb towards a substantial amount of weight loss. When I went on psychoactive drugs back in 2008, it was fine - I had hovered around 140 pounds for a while owing to poor diet.
But then I switched medications and within a year had hit 175 - it was really unpleasant. So I finally decided to make a real effort.
And you know what? It's working.
Since 24 Dec 2011 I've lost 25 pounds, and I'm at 150. My goal weight is 140 by the time I go to Burning Man in late August, but I may not reach it. All the same, I'm very happy.
I cut down my eating quite a bit and started eating more healthily, and have been losing 1-2 pounds per week.
I didn't really notice until the other day when on a whim, I tried on a corset I hadn't been able to wear since Burning Man in 2010. It has a 24" waist laced closed, and it FITS ME AGAIN.
I am beyond excited. I'm getting my real body back.
