My Journey

And I have a new low…below 185! At this point, every number is a new low because I haven’t been in the 80s in 20 years.

I’m feeling some things approaching my goal. Like…is it low enough? Will I like how I look at that weight? Is it too much weight to lose for the way I am now? And the big question: how do I handle maintenance?

I’ve been listening to endless podcasts from #CorrinneCrabtree and lots of others, working to get a handle on the maintenance phase that will inevitably come. Most of them say the same thing: continue what you’re doing, maybe add in a little bit to stay within range.

There’s no rational reason to be afraid of this, but I am feeling some trepidation.

These days on WordPress, I feel like I’m screaming into the void. I get emails that say I have new likes and new followers but when I try to go to “their blog” it’s an advertisement for some weight loss drug or program or something that will help me lose weight.

Clearly, I don’t need their help. I *would* like for someone, anyone to comment. The fact that no one has commented makes it obvious that nobody is reading my words. And that’s depressing.

And still…I continue to write. I’m so encouraged by my progress thus far…almost 55 pounds gone and I feel great, look better and I’m certain my bloodwork will be quite different than it was this time last year!

Until next time……
