Goal Number 2 has been met!

Aug 31, 2010

Ok, at the start of all this, many goals were set... and many have been met... I can cross my legs, sleep better, sit more comfortably, move the steering wheel down on my van so I can see the spedometer... a nice long list of acheivements. Weight-wise, howeer, I have 3 and a half goals... I say "half" because one of the goals is so close to the other that I don't feel justified in giving it full goal privledges! The first 2 and a half goals are more like milestones... so I will call them goalstones, just because I'm a freakin nutcase. The first goalstone is to be under 300 pounds. I met that goal May 19th! My second goalstone is to get down to 250 pounds... I met that this past Sunday My next goalstone is to lose 100 pounds. This is my mini-goalstone, since the 250 pound mark is 95 pounds lost! Tho 100 pounds is a benchmark to me and exciting, since I just reached the 250 pound goal, I can't give it full credit.. lol My final weight-related goal is to be down to 200 pounds. If I surpass that, great! If I don't, I am not worried. I have made such tremendous progress already! If I stopped losing weight today, I would still be proud of myself! Almost 100 pounds down after 15 years of being close to or over 300 pounds! I feel great. I feel healthy. I have more energy. I have drastically changed my lifestyle and my way of looking at food. To me, I have already won the war. the weight loss is just one battle that continues to go on and on. I never thought I would be able to get where I am right now. I am happy with my choice. If asked if I could go back in time, would I do this again? My answer would be... I would love to go back in time... how about 20 years ago before I fell in love with McDonalds and started this downward spiral??
Anyway, over all, I'm happy. On another posative note.... Last night I took my sons to the open house at their school. Because of the hecticness of the evening, I ordered pizza. I walked to the door when the pizza guy arrived and he said "Wow! You're looking good!" I of course was instantly smiling and graetful... till it hit me later that we order so much pizza that the pizza guy actually noticed the difference... he's there that often to know I was 350 pounds before. I made sure to enlighten him that the salad was for me... lol
Another posative. It looks like my hair loss is slowing down. Thank God. I am even starting to get re-growth! I hope it stays that way!
Ok, I'm off... wish I had more time to blog, but these days I am more on the weight machines than the computer!
Take care all and have a sparkling day!
