So close to so many things...

Sep 25, 2012

Wow, I was 189.5 this morning. I still can't wrap my head around being one-hundred-anything. Crazy. Just TWO more pounds until I'm, literally, half the woman I was when I started. That's a big goal for me.

Then another couple of pounds and I'll be at an "overweight" BMI - be nice to lose that "obese" tag with my BMI.

Then another couple and I will have caught up to one of my VSG heroes on the forum (waves to Frisco) in total weight loss.

Then another 10 and I'm at my goal 175.

Wow. It seems so close when I break it down like that, doesn't it? I'd LOVE to get there by my birthday in early March - and my 20th wedding anniversary shortly after (hopefully sooner, but I'm one of those that would rather grossly overestimate so I'm not setting myself up for failure).

So, that goal will put me at 200 pounds loss. It will also not be good enough. I already know I'm going to revise my goal. I WANT to revise it to 150, but that just doesn't seem attainable quite yet, so when I get there I'll push it down 5-10 pounds at a time and see how I feel about that at each step. It's the best way I know how to handle it.

So, the little nearly 2-week stall broke this morning (thus the one pound loss this week) and hopefully we'll keep trucking down. Funny, it doesn't really bother me anymore. I gained actually 4 pounds before they slowly came off and then an extra one. It always stair steps down and I just kind of go with it at this point.

I'll be a skinny bitch yet!

.... I think when I'm 30 more pounds down I'll treat myself to a plastic surgeon consult. Le sigh.
