I just received my tax return back from the IRS. It puzzles me!!! They are questioning how many dependents I claimed.
I guess it was because of my response to the question: "List all dependents?"
I replied: 12 million illegal immigrants; 82 million unemployed people or on food stamps, 2 million people in over 243 prisons; and 535 persons in the U.S. House and Senate."
Evidently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.
I KEEP ASKING MYSELF, WHO DID I MISS?

BEFORE / AFTER IMAGES
The before image of me is after I lost about 20 pounds. Before i started losing weight I did not stand in front of to many cameras.
Was going thru some old boxes looking for clothes that would fit and found my old space/flight suits... when I reach my goal weight will be able to fit back in them again.

The VA Bariatric Doctor scheduled me for a Bone Density Test next week. She thinks at the rate I am losing weight I am losing bone mass. I have not noticed any problems and I'm taking all the daily vitamin supplements she prescribed. I have lost close to 80 pounds in last 5 1/2 months and that is faster than normal for not having surgery.
My Doctor asked me about all the changes in my life that have taken place since losing the weight. I told her on the physical side I could not list them all. When I walk it is like walking on air and I have so much energy. I sleep so well and have so much mobility. On the mental side, It feels like I am becoming clean freak. The slightest amount of dirt on my carpet bothers me. The kitchen and bathroom is spotless. When I walk and see trash on the ground I have this urge to pick it up, but usually don't.
Even though I usually walk 90 minutes/day I wanted to do some cardio to raise my heart rate. She advised against it because of possible injury. She told me weight loss is getting to the top of a mountain. Everyone wants to get there quickly. Some take the winding road up the mountain and takes longer but is much easier. Others try a fast slippery slope and usually injure themselves and wind up farther down the mountain than where they initially started. What I am doing is working and if it is not broke don't fix it.

steady weight

Had to buy new clothes for 2nd time and found some older clothes packed away. I thought by now I would start to plateau and maybe I should start eating more (at the request of my dietician) but with all the fiber and water, I am just not that hungry.
Recently I posted about the excess skin on my right side from all the weight loss. I thought it might have been because I take many hot showers each day for the pain on my left side. I thought it was possible this was increasing the circulation and extraction of fat closer to the skin. I showed the VA doctor the difference and she believes it could be from increase circulation on the left side but also a decrease of circulation on my right side because I always sleep on my right side and the pressure/weight would prevent circulation. So it is probably 2 reasons for this. But I still believe that the hot water washes away the old skin and maybe hard on the skin but new skin will always grow back esp if you eat enough protien.
