Coming into homeplate...

Apr 03, 2012

I'm now officially only 20 pounds away from my goal weight....it's sureal.  I can't stop being surprised everytime I look in the mirror or catch my reflection in the window...I don't recognize myself. It's a good thing though... :) I now get to reap the benefits of losing so much weight. I feel like I've been healed from a terrible desease that consumed me everyday from the time I got up to when I went to sleep. I feel so much better and emotionally I've been told that my happiness is radiating from me.  They say I've changed as much inside as the outside.  Well, I still feel like the old overweight person still sometimes but those times are getting less.  
I am so excited to get to my goal weight....most of the people around me feel like I will look too thin if I go for 140, but from now on I'm going to take it pound by pound and when I feel like this is the place I always wanted to be I will stop then.  I'm sure everyone of us has that certain image of ourselves that feels thin or fit and we want to keep going until we reach it.  It's not just a number but also what we've always pictured ourselves lookiong like when we are at a healthy weight. This journey has been wonderful and its only because of the all the support I've had around me.  Next time you hear from me I will be at goal... :)
