no longer obese

Over Christmas, I finally made it to my next "interim" goal of 179.8 and no longer being obese.  At least according to the simple formula of calculating BMI using height and weight!  Woo Hoo!  Now, I am 30 pounds away from my goal, and it's so exciting.  I hope to be at goal this time next year.  I've already started developing new attitudes toward food, so that's exciting as well.  Daughter #2 got some cinnamon buns the other day, and I don't even want to taste them.  That's a first!  And I can eat my 1 or 2 pieces of chocolate a day (sometimes 3 or 4, but that's rarer than once a week) and be perfectly happy with that.  Another new attitude.  And exercising is almost a daily "must".  My knees are such that if I don't give them a workout on the treadmill or a brisk walk -- walking outside will be limited, since it's snowing right now -- then I really stiffen up.  So, yeah, I'm changing my attitude about eating, and it's a wonderful feeling!
