I reached halfway a little while ago - 55 pounds lost on the way to a goal of 110. My hair started falling out so I paused my weight loss until we figured out why. I have maintained, but six weeks later and still no idea why I'm losing my hair, so I decided to start losing weight again. Starting over is so much harder than simply starting and I'm really struggling.
Anyway. I was sitting tonight and looked down at my crossed legs, at the jeans I'm wearing. (I took a picture!) It's a pair from Old Navy and I'm guessing I've owned them for 16 years, but I know that from about 2007 I’ve been far, far too heavy to wear them.
They are currently too big for me. I roll them over at the waist so they'll stay up because I don't own a belt. This is a pair of jeans I've kept for THIRTEEN years in the hopes of fitting back into them, and now they're TOO BIG.
I've lost almost sixty pounds. I'm only eight pounds heavier than I was when I met my husband. I'm only about twenty pounds heavier than the lowest weight I've ever been as an adult.
I just wanted to put myself out there as an example that it doesn't do you any good to focus only on the FINAL GOAL and to forget how far you've come along the way.
Tiny changes make big differences, and if, like me, you're a bit rudderless right now or angry with yourself for grinding to a halt, just try to remember how far you’ve already come. Even if you're one or five or ten pounds into your journey, that one or five or ten pounds is worth celebrating. Try not to get bogged down by the big numbers.
I'll get back on track. I know I will. I can do this, and I will. I mean, look how far I've come already! Good luck to all of you, and I hope something makes you smile today.
