Fifty pounds is Fifty pounds!

Aug 05, 2010

One of my original goals was to lose at least 150 pounds. Seemed like such an impossibility when I wrote it.  Based on that goal, I would have only 30 more pounds to lose.  Reality check... I actually have 50 more pounds to get to my "dream" weight. All of a sudden, 50 pounds sounds like an impossibility.  I have lost 121 pounds, but I can not wrap my mind around losing another 50.  Deep.  Seems the more I lose,, the harder it gets to lose. Is that because we are dealing with less fat and more muscle?  Hmmm.  There are OH members who have reached a size 14 or a size 12 and I envy them.  Then I realize I was in a size 26/28; a size 48DD bra, and lets not even list the size of those panties.  I can now wear a size 18.  I had to put a belt on with a new pair of 18 jeans. I have two size 18 dresses that fit too snug to wear; but,  I could not resist the sale price - the bargain!  So they hang in my closet.  Unlike before, I know that one day soon I will be able to wear them.  Oh yeah! My doctor wants me to lose at least 20 - 30 more pounds by my one year anniversary.  Has he lost his mind... that is only two months away.  Thank God I don't have to weigh in until a month after my anniversary.  Guess I'd better get busy huh?
