Halfway!!

I have done it.  I could hardly believe the scale this morning.  It seems so unreal!!!!  Halfway!!!!!!!! I took off 30 lbs in 3 months.  I did it on my own and with my own hard work.  I am teaching my body to follow my desires to have a fit body and the pattern I am in won't ever change.  Even when I get to my goal weight, I am still going to be counting calories to maintain it.  I know I will never go back and that is the best part of this whole journey.  I am not on  "diet" because that word suggests that there will be an end somewhere.  I have changed my life and there is no going back.  I will not yo-yo anymore.  I will not gain fat and lose self-esteem.  I will not use food as an emotional crutch or as a means to "feel good" ever again.  It will always be a transaction for me which is teaching me to get the most energy, health and nutrition for my buck (or calories..hehe)  and that is now part of me.  I do not feel deprived or unsatisfied in the least bit.  I have more energy, more stamina and overall I feel great!  I know I will only feel better!  I get more sleep at night and I have no heartburn or any of the other bothersome digestive problems.  I know I have made a good choice in doing this and it has made me so happy.  Well, it's time to roll up my sleeves because I have 3 more months and 30 more lbs to go until I reach my first goal.  My final goal will be 180 if I can possibly get there, I won't give up until I do.  Thanks for reading and for your love and support.  It means the world to me!! Love you all!

  1. W-A-H-O-O!!!! Awesome! I can't wait to hit my half-way mark! You are probably a better mommy, too, which you didn't add to your list of benefits. I know when I actually have energy to play with my kiddos and be active with them I feel so much better about myself inside and we are building better memories.

    Thanks for the inspiration!
