Bingo!

Stepped on the scale this morning and got the news I've been waiting my entire adult life for.


That's right! I finally broke that 200 lb barrier for the first time in my life. If I had to guess, the last time I was under 200 lbs was high school or maybe even junior high. I can't believe I made it. Of course I went out and celebrated at dinner tonight. That number will climb back up a little between now and Sunday, but I'm okay with that. If I get upset, I just need to refer back to this posting and look at that beautiful number (and the scale that could use a once over with some Windex).

I, for one, am grateful that the scale didn't show us a mirror image of your junk from below. :) I digress, anyway...Congrats!

I deleted my earlier comment because I wanted to add something. Original comment: WOOHOO! Honey, I'm SO happy for you!

Addition: Ignore those two wenches up there -- be proud of your junk and show it to the world!

Yea, Walt! You really inspire me. You have a real-life approach to this. You're not some food Nazi with will power I can never match. You get the job done and still enjoy your food.

To reach this goal in snowy March - that is a huge achievement during hibernation and eating season!

Congratulations!

Thanks for the congrats, everyone. Even though I was in the 100s for just a day, it was the best feeling in the world. I'm getting closer and closer to that number everyday and I can't wait for it to be a real number for a very, very long time.

Laura,

I wish I had as much will power as people seem to think I have. If that were the case, I would be 175 and skeletal by now. I like how you called it a 'real life' approach, because that's really what it was. I'm the type of person who excels when there is structure, and a fad diet is nothing but structure. That's something, though, that I just couldn't do. So out of character for me. But I know that fad diets are just that... fads. You drop all the weight and stop the diet and gain it all back. That's the last thing in the world I want. I'm trying to undo 41 years of shitty eating habits, and it's a struggle every day. Developing better eating habits is extremely difficult. I'm not there yet, but I'm trying.

Erik,

I'll whip him into shape... for a price. :)

Walt said...

Nessa said...

Walt said...

Nessa said...
