Happy Fourth!

I had a great weekend and overcame some food obstacles.  I had my cycle last week and it ended with the funeral for my friends nephew so all in all it was a hard week.  I was so depressed and soooo sad because of the loss of a little 7 year old named Kobe.  I wanted to eat but I stood my ground.  I did eat a little extra but I made good choices and I got through it.  I know my battle with weight will never truly be over so I have to stay diligent for the rest of my days if I want to keep the weight that I am losing right now off.  It is so hard but the fact that I have lost 23 pounds is so exciting to me that I am willing to keep trying.  I found that I will need to get to 180 to not be overweight anymore so that is 57 more pounds...blech :( but hey, if I were to feel good and have energy and age well because of it, wouldn't that be worth it?  I would say a big huge YES!  See you on the scales!
