GOOOOOAL!
Nov 03, 2010
I made it. I am now "average." Just plain old average. And I LOVE being average.
I set my goal at the top of my weight range for my height- 179. Four weeks ago I was 2 lbs shy of my goal. Then the batteries in my scale died. I was a little lax about replacing them...then I weighed myself at the gym...and I had lost 1 lb. So I was one pound away and just kept on keeping on....
Then I replaced the batteries in my scale and got on this morning- 178!!
I burst into tears- of joy! I have never been so happy to be average in my life...because before today I was never average. I have always (and I do mean always) been "big" or "plus" or "chubby" or "large-framed" or any other euphemism for fat. For the first time in ever, I can say that being "normal" is exactly what I want to be. But I am still "super!"
The feelings that I have about making my personal goal are so overwhelming. I really feel like I have been reborn into a life that holds enormous possibility.
Love to all of you that have supported me through this site~ without you I would have had a harder time adjusting to my new life. For that friendship and support I am truly thankful.
I hope that I can help others who may have questions or just need a virtual ear or shoulder.
Love,
Rebecca
