Pluggin along

So, after last months weigh in, i went up a few pounds... had some issue with that time going about twice as long as it should have, so i figured that had something to do with the gain... I'm excited to say I'm back down today to where i was the day we weighed in this month. Pretty sure I'm not going to make my 10 lb goal this time around, but I'm still plugging along, and am looking forward to showing an actual loss this time around.

After Mindy's post about her old pictures and thinking she was fat then... I've been looking at a few of my pictures from college, about 10 years ago... remembering thinking I was fat then, and most of those pics are 35 lbs less than I weigh right now, and 75 lbs less than i weighed at my heaviest. I was actually pretty active then, and I just got lazy after that, got married and gained weight... Now, I'm active again, I do things that I always wanted to do but have been too chicken to do for a long time, if ever. I do things now that I didnt even do in those active college days, and its really exciting. sometimes I wonder why I didnt realize this sooner, why I didnt recognize how great I was, how worth it I was, really love myself or think I deserved good things... I'm really not sure why it took so long for that to really get through, but I will say that I know that is why this time is different, why I'm successful, its slow going, but I've been consistently losing weight for 7 months now, because I have finally recognized that I DO deserve great things, I deserve to be happy, to have everything I want in my life, and I'm finally willing to step out and reach for those things, even chase them! And I think that makes all the difference in the world!

Well, that was quite the epistle that I had not planned on writing, but sort of spilled out. Sorry for all the run-on sentences, for any English majors out there! LOL
