I should add constipation to that list above ^^^. I am eating fiber like nobody's business (several fiber tablets, flax meal, and at least one large mixed green (not iceberg) salad every day) and still have problems. Yesterday I ate two salads. No bloating, just... annoyed. Suggestions are welcome.
Anyway... I have a large box of photos spanning over the last 15 years or so, and I dug it out last weekend and organized all the pictures. I got some of them into an album, and the overall goal is to get all of them into albums & ditch the box.
I separated out about 5 pictures of me from 1999-2002 to remind myself of how far I've come since then. My heaviest was 215 and I have a picture that is right about that time frame - early 2002, right before my dad died. Made me sad that he never saw me get into shape, run a couple of half-marathons, and start weight lifting (he lifted weights all through my childhood & let my brother & I play with the plates when we were little. His plates were these gold-colored plastic cases that were filled with cement... I have no idea if you can even get those now.). Anyway, it'd be fun to talk to him about this stuff, but alas... losing a parent sucks.
Had anyone told me at that time that I'd be where I am now, I would have laughed. Even still, I find it amazing that I *can* do certain things. I've always had a hard time believing in myself and believing that I can achieve things, and this program has been a real eye-opener.
