Alright guys and gals, I am truly happy with my weight loss and am really amazed. I know its not the end and I still have a ways to go till I reach my goal but just let me say I am already thrilled. My life is totally different then it was at the beginning of May when I started and even though I have had some stressful times with school, I have been able to maintain my exercise and eating habits. Knowing that I can stay on track for that long impresses me even more than the weight loss.
So I just wanted to say to everyone that despite what happens in our lives and the ocassional slip up, it is truly possible to lose weight and even more so, it is possible with simply will power. My goal now is to keep exercising and eating healthy, not so much for more weight loss but because I feel so much better than ever before. And even though I stil fear what the scale might say to me I know that I feel great and I think that is really important.
On another note, my eating habits will be challenged in August when I go see my endocrinologist about my thryroid. Originally she told me to lose between 6-12 pounds by then and I have surpassed that so I know she will stop prescribing the phen which has completely removed any cravings. So, that is a big reason why I want continue these habits so that when I stop taking phen I won't revert back to the old me. This fear is heightened even more by the fact that on August 11th, I graduate from UF. Which means I have to enter the workforce and put in those hours to reach my salary goals. I fear that this will hinder me even more.
Long story short. I am at a good place right now and I want to stay here, if that means more weight loss than great, if not then thats ok too. Thanks for all the support out there and please know that weight issues trouble everyone but feeling good about ourselves is exceptionally rare.
