1/2 pound to GOAL!!!
Aug 26, 2010
This morning I was amazed! When I got on the scale it said...135.5
that means I only have 1/2 pound to go to reach goal! This has been THE single most amazing year of my life! What a journey so far.
It's not over! As I approach this long awaited goal... I have come to realize that it isn't the GOAL (destination) it is the JOURNEY. For all of us former Obese, Morbidly Obese, Super Morbidly Obese people this is a journey we need to be constantly aware of.
There are so many pitfalls, and "tourist traps" that are there just waiting to pull us in and destroy all we have accomplished!
We know this is accurate... just think of all the times we have lost weight before and once we let ourselves have a little more lee-way... before we know it the pounds came creeping back. In some cases, it came back with the vengenance of an AVALANCHE!!!
Burying us under yet another load of excess weight, depression, anxiety and guilt.
Hindering us from accomplishing our true potential.
So... remember, my fellow WLS friends. This is dangerous territory... we must remain alert. Enjoy the journey- but keep our eyes and ears open for those treacherous pitfalls.
HUGS TO ALL!!!
