My Journey

This morning, for the first time in 4 years, I’m under 200lbs. It’s not like the last time, far less exciting. Back then, it had been almost 20 years since I’d been there. And it was my goal.

This time, I’m aiming for 175. I still am not sure what that will feel like, and am wondering if I will be able to maintain 175. This time, tho, I have a lot more support in additional ways.

I cannot recommend enough listening to #CorinneCrabtree. I plan to become a member at NoBSWeightloss as soon as the membership opens up. I need help maintaining this weight loss! I know that now.

Another thing that’s different: I’m not expecting weight loss to be the solution to all my problems. No matter what, I’m still in the same body. And I have the same problems in other areas of my life that I had at 238.5 (or 250 or 260 like I’ve been in the past). What I’m saying is that this time, I’m learning to appreciate myself on the way down, not just at that magic goal weight number.

Full disclosure I had to take off my pajamas in order to get under 200 but I really just wanted to see that number on the scale this morning! It’s motivating to me…progress yields progress.

My current dilemma: What to do to reward myself on my entry into Onederland! Thoughts anyone????????
