I Just Noticed my Weight Loss!

You know how sometimes even though you *know* you lost weight either by the scales and or the way your once tight clothes now fit nice and loose (some of my jeans and slacks are so loose now that I have to tug on them to keep them up) you still don't *see* the loss in the physical sense? Well here I sit at work and it used to be when I sat at my desk my tummy was so big that it would actually touch the edge of the desk but I glanced down just a few minutes ago and noticed that now there must be a couple of inches between my tummy and the desk. Yay! I am so happy! And I'm noticing that my once very prominant double chin is also fading. And I have much more energy. Like it used to be no matter how well I slept, when working the 3rd shift I could not stay awake for anything (two shifts I drifted off and my time to answer was at like 281 (every 10 is 60 seconds so that was not good!) because I was so dead to the world that I didn't hear my lines ringing. But my last 4 3rd shifts I have stayed awake with no problem, and even for a little while after I got home again. Which was good cuz then I sleep later...

Also, my WW meeting is on Wednesday mornings (which is the morning after one of my 3rd shifts at 8:30am, and my 3rd shift ends at 6am so I just try to stay awake at least till after the meeting), and it used to be even though the topics are always great and my team leader is also great and interesting I would be so fatigued that I would start to drift off... But the last couple of meetings I have been wide awake. I did try other meetings for awhile (all lead by the same Wednesday morning person) because of the near drifting off issues- so I tried later in the day meetings and one I did like but this one is the best one because it's the only one that is so close to me! It's only like 5 or 10 minutes away so that's great with gas prices and
today's economy so I'm glad I am staying awake now. And last but not least, I was getting moody and crabby a lot, but now I have a lot more patience. Oh I lied! One more thing, I was starting to make silly mistakes at work (paging the wrong person, forgetting to dispatch calls, etc.) but I have been more focused. I am sure it is all due to the weight loss. Well, some of that stuff was repititious for some but rather than have to type it up to everyone I wanted to share this with several times I just got lazy and typed one message to everyone. So sorry to the ones who already knew a lot of what I said here.
