ELLA IS BACK!

Quick post:

EVERYONE LOOK OVER THERE ------------------>
(At the little weight graph.)

I've LOST the weight I put on plus some more & here's the "announcement" I posted on WW boards today:

I recently had a "meltdown" & questioned whether I could do this at all (EP: See YESTERDAY's post.)

111 lbs is a LOT to lose, it's hard, I can't...-- you've heard it or thought it.

Turns out, I can do this (which I knew.)

This has been my smallest month of loss EVER during this journey, but my biggest learning, understanding, listening to my body/heart/soul, and I'll take the smaller loss ANY day if it helps me stay the course.

To think --  two weeks ago I questioned giving up is weird, but I remember it. I would've considered this whole month a "bust/waste" in the past, but this has been my most IMPORTANT month yet.

HANG IN THERE. Stay the course. Meet the forks in the road head-on (this week's WW topic which I could've used LAST week,) accept, make a choice, plan an action & implement it. All stuff I "know" but  I had to "know know" -- get it?

I'm nearly grateful for the meltdown. While it wasn't fun, I feel deeper within in my journey. So horray for a horridly emotional month where I lost 5 instead of 10 lbs. Horray for slips & huge gains. Horray for everything that made this hard, b/c it taught me I'm a fighter when I really want something & that there is ALWAYS a way w/ WW.

Sorry so long, but I'm just overwhelmed (& proud of me) -- Ella

YEAAAAAAAAA!!!

Ella...CONGRATS big time on your loss! That is awesome. YOU are an inspiration! I am still teetering, but I will take THAT over a gain any day! I really want to rejoin WW and go to the meetings... but I just cannot afford it right now. I hope I can before the special ends of free registration!!

GREAT JOB!!

Hooray!!!

Way to go! You know you can do it. I think of you every morning when I light my candles and sit down to my zazen. Keep going--keep breathing!

A lotus to you...

Partner!

Ella I missed ya!!! Glad your back! Happy New Year!
