Fifty Pounds Lighter

Another week completed on the war on weight and another victory.  Today I happily discovered that I had lost another four pounds in the last seven days, but more importantly, I achieved a significant milestone.  I have now lost over 50 pounds.  Let me spell that out: f-i-f-t-y p-o-u-n-d-s.  It was hard to believe I weighed fifty more pounds than I do now just nine short weeks ago.  My self-confidence has improved, I feel as if my health has improved, and my clothes definitely fit a lot better than they used to.  Some major strides have been made thus far.  Yay me.

What’s unfortunate about it is that the entire time I was in denial about my weight; I actually thought I weighed what I do now.  Even with terrible eating habits and exemplifying a sedentary lifestyle, I still convinced myself that I remained the same weight for more than three or four years.  I was either very naïve or very delusional.  Maybe both.

Regardless, the point is that I have won yet another small victory on this war on weight.  This isn’t the end, this isn’t even the beginning of the end of my struggle with weight.  But I hope that the fifty pounds I have lost and the momentum I have established means that this is the end of the beginning.

    It’s like Salad Town, USA here, too. Not the most exciting dish in the world, but it works wonders! :)

    I’m using a weight loss program, changing how I eat, and exercising 6-7 times a week. A big change for me!
