I'm actually feeling kinda proud of myself.
Back when my neuropathy first started, there was a drastic drop in my activity level and I ended up gaining 60 pounds. The doctors were ready to plop me in a wheelchair.
Since then, I've relearned to walk using the muscles that still work but stepping off of curbs still presents a unique challenge and I've dropped some of the weight.
The challenge's been to readjust my diet and increase my activity level. Keeping in mind that I intend to stay as healthy as possible.
My weight went from a fit 170 to a squishy, flabby 230.
My first goal was to get to 200 pounds. After that it was 190 and today I hit it. As a reward, we're planning on going to Ruby Tuesday and after a light meal, I'm gonna have a dessert of chocolate cherry cheesecake.
Then it's back to the diet.
Originally, I just wanted to get some of the weight off. Now I'm thinking I wanna be the healthiest, fittest, pathetic, gimpy, useless cripple I can be.
