What is it about the number #1 that is so exciting...
Jan 03, 2012
Well.....I finally turned the corner and made one of my biggest goals so far....I weighed 199 this morning. I was hoping to make it before the beginning of the year, but considering I'm only a few days off of the goal I'm still really excited. For some reason the difference between 199 and 200 doesn't seem like just a one pound difference it seems more like 50 pounds different. I feel so much smaller at 199 then I did at 200. It's all in my mind I know but it makes me wonder how do we get so screwed up when it comes to looking at our body and really seeing it the way the rest of the world does....why is 199 so much more exciting then 200...it's only one pound. :)I tried on more clothes this morning that I had been saving until I lost a certain amount of weight and once again I'm still not really seeing myself for what I really am because they were all too big and now I have to give them away. I've missed out on so many clothes because I keep thinking I need to loose more weight to fit into them and then I try them on and I've completely miss the size and skipped to the next size down. Thank goodness my sister has been so generous with her clothes...she made her goal but has been passing down her clothing to me so I haven't had to purchase clothing as I keep going on this adventure.
So now my next goal is 175....and it will be awesome to hit it, but only two goals really seem monumental to me, one is 199 and the other is when I cross the finish line at 140. :)
