Purging, Drinking and School...Nice Combination!

Current Weight: 216.2 lbs.
Total Lost: 70.5 lbs.

Yesterday I finally went through my clothes.
I just didn't want all the big stuff in my closet anymore.
It would be too tempting to wear them just because.
Then I would look dorky.
Now I have about 20 pairs of pants to get rid of
And a ton of shirts.
Out with the old and in with the new.
God bless the GoodWill store right now.

Last night Tammy and I went out to the bar.
I haven't been out there since March.
Before I just couldn't drink and wasn't up to it.
Yesterday was great!
I did drink and got drunk way faster than normal.
I just watched myself and was careful of my pacing.
I also noticed that my "buzz" wore off quicker than normal.
We ended up at about 4 different bars when we should have stayed at the first one.
Strolled into Steak n Shake at 3:30 a.m. and shared a turkey club with Tammy.
Slid into bed at 5 a.m. and yes...I am up at 8:30 a.m. for church.

The first week of school has been good.
Other teachers that I don't even talk to have noticed my weight loss.
Everyone says I look fantastic.
I have also started walking around the outside of my school during my lunch.
It takes me about 15 minutes to get around the whole thing.
Hey...at least I'm doing a consistant exercise.
But the compliments are very helpful and boost my self esteem.
I even fit into the lecture hall desk on the first teacher day.
I was totally excited.
I have been really good with eating too.
I make sure to always pack my lunch and grab something for breakfast.

All in all...I'm doing well.

Thank you for your blog. Its help put my mind at rest. I was starting to feel unsure.. that I was making the right choice for both myself and my 7month old baby. I now feel like im ready.
