I am on top of the World

Well, my strategy of setting a goal date to reach my goal worked.  I was down 3lbs at weigh in today.  Only two more to goal!  I set my goal date for May 13 because that is Mother's Day weekend.  My Mom has been my biggest supporter throughout this whole journey and we are actually spending that whole weekend together so I thought it would be great if I brought her to the meeting that day and she could share in the celebration when I announce that I am at goal.  This puts a little pressure on me to reach goal on that specific date but I know I can do it.  I just hope it doesn't happen too soon - Mom is away next week so I have to NOT lose the two lbs this week. 

This week for the first time I really started to be happy with how I look now.  I know it sounds crazy - how could I not notice or not be happy with being 87 lbs lighter?  But I still didn't feel like I was where I wanted to be.  I was still seeing flaws when I looked in the mirror and I didn't think I looked like a good reflection of someone who has been successful on the WW program.  But one day this week before I got in the shower I looked in the mirror and the "flab" around my stomach and waist didn't look that bad and I figured if I get better about doing crunches everyday that will go away in no time.  I do look like someone who is a healthy, normal weight and I finally am happy...
