The scale moved - finally!
I finally made it to the 130’s. OHH YA! Yes, I am at the bottom of the 130’s, but nonetheless there!!! It feels unbelievable - somedays earlier on, I would think wow I am so far from where I want to be - will I get there? Then this voice called determination would kick in and tell me, “Yes, you will because this is what you really want and you will not be happy nor stop until you get it because this is the type of person you are.” So yes, I am 4 pounds away from my original goal. The weight loss has slowed up some, but to compensate me while I wait I sure fit alot of clothes I hadn’t in a long time mostly all my size 7s now… I haven’t been this weight since after I had my son. That is right during the pregnancy I ate well and exercised and lost most of the weight albeit 4-5 pounds of it then gained when I took extra calorie intake due to breast feeding for granted. Then stress entered my life in great abundance through life changing events… the rest tells itself. Anyway, I am back to the weight I left off at during that very blessed time in my life almost 5 years ago. I know I will lose these last 4 pounds and then from there I will decide if I want to go to 130. When I was at my best I fluctuated between 130-135. At 5′6 that should be fine when I was in the 120’s people told me I looked too skinny. I just wanted to share the feeling of freedom I have right now…It is funny to think how before I would hate when my weight would creep up to 139 from 135… Now I am so happy to be 139…
Great job on the losses so far. You can do it!!
