90 POUNDS!
So today, I hit the 90 lb. mark on my weight loss since high school. (I know it's been almost six years since I graduated high school, but that's always been my reference point).
I was so ecstatic today. :-D I weighed in and looked down at what she wrote and saw 161.0 and just went "PRAISE JESUS." I am now officially one pound away from goal... then I have to keep that for six weeks and I get to go to WW for free!
I'm so excited, and not just because of the weight loss. I feel GREAT nowadays.
I had a friend tell me "I liked the way you looked better when you were 20 lbs. heavier... but you know what? I feel good, and that's what counts. It doesn't matter what I look like. I'm not constantly depressed anymore, and I have WAY more confidence in myself. That's what really matters. Even though I love that friend dearly, I could care less what other people thought of me. The main reason for that is because when I started losing weight FOR REAL, I wanted it to be FOR ME and not for someone else. It's amazing how rewarding it feels when you do overcome an obstacle.
Okay, so that's enough of my ramblings for now.
Grace and Love
