No place that far

I had a long drive yesterday and generally my longer drives are quite thought provoking.

When I went to my yearly "female" exam, I stepped on the scales and 244 appeared.  I quickly went on a diet and lost 17 pounds and then Father's Day weekend came and we went away for the weekend and I ate everything in sight and pretty much gave up on the diet.  I thought there was no way that I could lose all the weight I wanted so why even try.

Then we decided to get married, a week opened up between Frank's training.  It was either do it now or wait another year.  We decided to go ahead and plan it for that week.  So here I am weighing 46 pounds lighter than that dreadful day.  I never thought I would be able to do it.  I've almost lost 50 pounds.  Losing another 50 doesn't seem so impossible now.

My thoughts yesterday was, There's no place that far.  We can always get where we want to, the only limitation we have is ourself.

You got me to thinking...

I had to applaud your sentiment; no place too far. 

There is one thing though - gaining and losing and then regaining is very bad for the health, and I have done it a lot.  What I want, this time around, is to lose it and maintain the loss.  Become a slim person and stay there...

I'm not sure how that works.  Of course, I am about 100 pounds away from having to know how.

Thanks... your entry was quite thought provoking...
